/*
 * This library consists of only three files
 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
 *
 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
 * of implementation flavour you want:
 *
 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
 *
 *    This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
 *    unfortunately only newer unices support.
 *    Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3.
 *
 * -DCORO_SJLJ
 *
 *    This flavour uses SUSv'2 setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
 *    do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
 *    context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
 *    all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
 *    do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
 *    functions are implemented)
 *
 * -DCORO_LINUX
 *
 *    Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
 *    (very fast).
 *
 * -DCORO_LOOSE
 *
 *    Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
 *    this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
 *    (untested)
 *
 * -DCORO_IRIX
 *
 *    SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
 *
 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
 * the model.  This currently works for CORO_LOOSE only. For the other
 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
