Make the Amigix tasks talk to the libraries through a specified set of glue
routines, and have all the glue routines check for pending amigix signals
when they return. This is basically how the UNIX signal handling works. Of
course, the Amigix signals would match to Amiga sigbits... you just need to
define SIGINT as SIGB_CTRLC, SIGQUIT as SIGB_CTRLD, SIGHUP as SIGB_CTRLE,
and SIGKILL as SIGB_CTRLF.

In fact a set of wrappers like that would be useful in general... Hmmm...
