It should definitely be possible in OCaml.  For anyone who wants to
see how this trick is done (in C using setcontext), also look at:
http://www.annexia.org/freeware/pthrlib

Specifically at the files src/pthr_reactor.c (an ordinary event
Reactor) and src/pthr_pseudothread.c (implements threads using control
inversion on top of the Reactor).
