I don't think that will be possible. PN doesn't use setjmp / longjmp  
to create coroutines.

I haven't yet quite understood what it does exactly, but I don't think  
the coroutines code will help much. A different solution would have to  
be found; probably the best thing would be to rewrite that part of the  
code completely to do its work without coroutines. At least if it is  
fairly isolated and self-contained, this should be possible.

There is no demo?
