Hi Wayne,

I don't have any plans to rewrite the coroutine code during V6
development cycle or doing any other radical changes. The only stuff I
want to add is:
- winfiber backend (already done), which removes assembly code for
Win32/Win64 - the last obstacle for easy MSVC builds.
- proper caller address in the stack frame (so that Jeff will see full
stack traces)

Both of these changes are relatively minor.

Cheers,
Tom
