I am not sure this is the right way to do it.

cleanup implemented can be done by user code, by explicitly calling the 
cleanup on process end, i.e. before end of main.

Only automatic cleanup is missing, which I think is simply an 
optimization, but not strictly required.

Please give me some days to look into it (perhaps weekend?), I'll try to 
find out the proper way to handle the issue. (No I am not suggesting 
that I will implement automatic cleanup.) Possibly the cleanup 
implemented should be "fake implemented" by the test code for these 
compilers.

Ok?
