#6 Quit events and a nicer "Stop Script"

[Kevin Reid]

When MacPerl quits, if the running program has installed a signal handler for one of ($SIG{'TERM'} or $SIG{'QUIT'} or $SIG{'INT'}), call it instead of displaying the "Abort running script?" dialog.

This would allow the running program to handle shutting down however it likes; it would be especially useful for server programs or programs running on computers that get automatically shut down unattended.

Extra features:
Menu item to do the same without quitting MacPerl (separate from "Stop Script").
Configurable order of trying signal handlers.

My estimation is that this might be difficult, and I am not
sure it would be the right thing to do. Currently, I can't
work on it, but when it is time to work on it, it should be
discussed in -porters.
