* Deleting a coroutine needs to unregister the stack to the GC.
* Builtin 'yld' must save the current stack pointer so that the GC knows which part of the stack is really in use.

**Description**:
* Allow the nimrod bootstrap process to integrate the nimrod standard library source code and other associated resources into the nimrod binary, to be used by the nimrod binary when compiling source code. The included library modules should be overridable, either by a switch passed to the nimrod executable, or by placing an actual library file in a pre-determined path.

The Nimrod standard library currently lacks a YAML parsing module. This task requires you to read the YAML specification and to create a module which will be able to parse YAML data into an AST. Subsequently the parser can be used to create a high-level API to access the data.

* Revise the fsmonitor module api to decouple Unix/Linux file handle paradigms (such as using the poll method in in the sockets module) from the api, allowing easier implementations of multiple native backends.
* Integrate the fsmonitor module's polling mechanism into the new asynchronous io modules.

#### Add a cross-platform stat()-like procedure to the operating system module "os.nim"
**Skill Requirements:** Knowledge of file system api's for Linux, MacOSX, or Microsoft Windows.
**Description:**
* Implement a procedure which uses native stat-like calls on Linux, Mac, Windows, and other operating systems to gather detailed information about specific file system objects. Allow the bypassing of symlinks and hardlinks, where possible.
