Even when building a DLL the GHC runtime system will install signal
 handlers for SIGINT, etc.  This done in RtsStartup.c by calling
 initUserSignals() and initDefaultHandlers().
 This is all good when running a standalone program, but very dubious if
 generating a DLL.  For a DLL it's likely that the main program will handle
 signals, and the GHC-RTS should keep its greedy little paws away from the
 signals. :)
 A flag to control this would be appreciated.
