[fpc-devel] Light weight threads for FPC

A big difference between threads and fibers in Windows is that threads are
preemtively scheduled, while fibers are co-operatively scheduled.

Unfortunately, Windows' fiber implementation has severe limitations.

To get around this I created a library that does real light-weight "fibers".

See here for some documentation I wrote on the subject:
