I've started working on this, using the FreeBSD implementation as a first
cut for DFly.

It was asked earlier on in the thread why FreeBSD used syscalls for this -- 
it's best to look at the commit comments for rev 1.9 of ucontext.h for their
reasons -- 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/include/ucontext.h

I'll be following the FreeBSD lead for the first cut; I'll see what we can
do to improve on this in our world as a follow-on.
