Fooling with the definitions of SIGTERM, SIGINT, SIGQUIT would be a
really bad idea, since we have to behave reasonably when those signals
are sent to us by code not under our control. Unix system shutdown
pretty much forces our SIGTERM behavior, for example.
Everything else pretty much already is funneled through SIGUSR1 and
SIGUSR2.
