Yes, it is possible, but the two skins would share the same timer, and
since this timer has to be in periodic mode for the vxworks skin, you
would have to run the posix skin in periodic mode too. This should work,
but of course you would not get the same timer resolution as the one you
get in aperiodic mode.
