With regards to the the "cleaning up before exit" problem
recently discussed on xpert, I would like to propose the
following addition to the Xt Intrinsics:

XtAddCleanUpProc(routine, client_data)
XtRemoveCleanUpProc(routine, client_data)

These would add or remove a routine from a list of routines
to be called when the application exits.

To exit an application, the programmer would call:

XtExit(value)

which would call all of the clean up procedures and then
call exit(value).
