[Threads-devel] Single threaded implementation of Boost.Thread

Hello,

A while back I put together a library[1] with the same interface as  
Boost.Thread that I use for testing purposes, as it's nice to be able  
to test algorithmic logic in isolation from synchronization logic.

The implementation is cooperative, rather than preemptive, written in  
terms of Fibers on Windows and the <ucontext.h> functionality on POSIX  
systems.

I started thinking about bringing the code up to date in order to  
mirror the new 1.35 interface, when I realized that I hadn't mentioned  
my library here before.

Would this cooperative version of Boost.Thread be useful for boosters  
in general? Regardless, someone here may find it useful!

Kind regards,

Edd
