A very alpha stage release of my Disposable interface for classes which want guaranteed destruction on program termination.  Currently it is only for linux.  It installs signal handlers before the app main is called to trap seg faults and other nasty things.

The API needs a bit of work, as you have to call std.disposable.markForDisposal(Disposable obj) in order to register an object with the disposal handler.  Similarly, unmarkForDisposal unregisters an object.

Registering an object simply means that it will be put on the dispose list to be disposed when the program is terminated.  The disposal iteration routine tries to guarantee disposal of all objects.  The one thing it cannot protect against, however, is a signal generated from within a Dispose() method.

The interface name is Disposable, rather than IDisposable.  I think (at the time) I was worried about conflicts there.

With a bit more work I think it could make a valuable contribution to Ares or Phobos.

NOTE:  the patch modifies linux.mak, internal/dmain2.d, and
std/disposable.d (new file).  Unfortunately the modifications to
linux.mak remove recls, since I had trouble compiling it under GCC 4.0.
  However, they also add compilation of std/disposable.d to libphobos.
So, I guess beware.
