It's easy to neglect that coThreads actually comes with a compatible
threads.cm(x)a for the process engine. So if you're working with legacy code
but wish to try the process engine, you can still using Thread module and
threads library, and don't have to change anything except the include path. 

On the other hand, if you're using shared-memory concurrency in your legacy
code, you'll have to port it with STM --- the only compatible way to have
shared-memory across different engines.
