It's probably the only real reason, but an important one for me..... when
the PD dynamic library is used from within another application, that is when
s_entry.c is not used but replaced, this application has no control over PD
exiting, which may be important for cleanup. I tried using atexit handlers
but that it is too limited. I don't think that the delay of soft quitting
compared to exit is ever noticeable, is it?
