Could you be more elebotate? Cause none of the above seems fair. I dont know 
about any portability issues related to main in static library (and it's 
optional nowdays anyway). SIGNAL catching is optional and doesn't constitute 
portabiltiy issues per se, whether to use it's up to you.

Alot was changed in between these releases, but I dont know about any 
construction issues.
