After having spent the last few hours with building Kicad stable 4, I 
investigated the backporting. I fear I will be unable to backport 
boost::context 1.61 compatiblity to stable under the restriction of 
c++03, as the library specifies c++11 as minimum (it uses <functional> 
and <tuple> now f.e.). So I'm feeling a bit unfortunate. It might be 
possible to come up with a hack for this particular version using the 
detail namespace. I don't know if that's okay by the policy and it could 
break with any new version. It could be that it's less work than I fear, 
by simply retargeting the detail namespace, but I would only investigate 
if that's an option at all.
