I'm also more than a bit sceptic about the SIGQUIT extension.
Many programs (like Allegro) currently install SIGQUIT handlers
just to clean up at a possible crash.

I strongly vote for an explicit `__djgpp_enable_sigquit()'.

[ Is SIGQUIT really that important ? - just to describe my ignorance ;-),
  though running Linux for more than 3 years I even don't know where
  this key is located on my German keyboard ]
