Well... UNIX povray actually will never exit() but instead go though some 
longjmp into the cooperate funcion which will then return to main or throw 
some exception. It took me some time until I finally figured out what was 
actually going on here and I was really wondering if the present state 
can be called a "clean solution"...

But I'm sure, Nicolas will come up with something better. :)
