The bad news is that the RedHat guys hasn't ported ucontext library to

The good one is that:
1. You call just one of the 4 ucontext library functions, and you call it
in just one source file (stack.c)
2. I've found an example explaining how to port the ucontext library in
Cygwin
(Don't know if it works though)
Good, hopefully #2 will work. The use of ucontext is pretty critical,
because otherwise we could leak references and accidentally GC an object
still in use. Actually there could be an alternative implementation using
setjmp(), I'll look into that if time permits.
zip problem
------------
I downloaded the source code of zip-2.3 and,
at line 373 of zip.c, I got this:
#ifdef MACOS
Sorry, I meant JCHEVM's zip,c: jchevm/libjc/zip.c.

Yet, I can't find, in the Zip source files, the the pread( ) function
that you told me about
pread(3) is something that Cygwin would supply, not zip. I.e., it's
part of the standard C library (per Unix98).
