57 - used new SLF interface to reimplement Coro::Signal gaining
58 some unknown (because I was too lazy), but certain, speedup, and also
59 making signals reliable for the first time.

63 - use new rouse functions to speed up and simplify Coro::BDB.
64 - make "prefer perl native functions" work with threaded perls.
65 - condense Coro::Debug ps output, hint at v and w flags.
66 - (libcoro) lots of minor cleanups and portability improvements.
