Coroutines cannot be implemented in ANSI C (at least not for Lua).

Well, it will not help a lot. The corolib only supports X86 Linux and
FreeBSD. I never got any patches for other architectures.

Peter Wang sent me a patch for djgpp (basically s/mmap/malloc/) but the
build requires unix tools (sh, sed, ...). He mentions that it also compiles
with Mingw32 (whatever that is *g*). I did not made a new version of
libcoro with his patch yet. (It's becoming silly: only 3 arches supported,
all X86, and the diffs are basically only 2-4 lines.)
If you want to play with coroutines with the Lua-4.1 snapshot you may
be better off with the scorolib.c from Sol (requires changes, Sol API
is different!). But you get the basic Lua framework...
