Equivalent to ucontext APIs

[Daniel Waddington]

Hi Norman,
Protothreads won't really work for us since this is comparable to our own
technology that we are trying to port (basically a Cilk-like compiler and
runtime).

It's quite easy to implement the stack swapping and context saving we need -
I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks
Daniel
