Because I'd like to eventually send signals from outside (e.g. a shell)
too. This is in fact a stripped-down version of a real program  
written in C
mainly to demonstrate how much easier it is to get the same  
functionality
in Haskell.

How much work would it be to add the pthread signal blocking/sending
facility to the unix library?

Cheers,
