The ucontext stuff was added for Leopard AFAICS. So we'd just have to
implement a subset of that functionality for ourselves. I think it's
covered under the open source darwin bit so we could look to see how
it is actually implemented in Leopard (might clang the licence if we
copied it directly though), or there is this
http://swtch.com/libtask/
which is under the MIT license, and has been used in various
libraries here and there.
However this whole approach is a bit hackish (e.g. debugging would be
confusing, I guess).
