Ok. Then I think that at least 50% of the affected programs allready disable 
Ctrl-C.

Ok, but if you already have a flag adding another doesn't affect. I understand 
your point, but the huge numbers of things that needs to be configured 
according to the UNIX target are small in comparisson with a couple of flags 
that could need a djgpp code. That's all.
