Actually, the problem is that of general serialization of worker
thread operations. That is, it could be something akin to:

res = yield run_in_thread(lambda : os.system('make'))

run_in_thread would basically grab a worked thread, execute the
callable, and allow the generator to proceed after the thread is done.
Now, the only thing to do is the "generator dispatcher" in gui
mainloop that finds the correct generator and makes it proceed...
