[PATCH] [RFC] Get rid of boost::context

 

Hi,

The attached patch removes boost::context dependency by introducing a
single-file libcontext that automatically detects the compiler &
platform and provides a stable API, contrary to the Boost libs. If you
have some spare time, please test it, in particular on Windows and OSX.

I verified the library (outside Kicad) on
Win32/Win64/Linux-i386/Linux-x86/64, OSX/x86_64, Linux/ARM and
Linux/Aarch64. Compared to boost, there is no support for Sparc and PPC
platforms. If anyone here pops up willing to test the Sparc/PPC support,
I can add it.

I hope this will sort out the boost issues for good.

Cheers,
Tom
