Sounds reasonable; I'll recast it in that form. Thanks. It's unfortunate
that the lock and tls changes are messy, but I suspect thread-safety
does actually matter here. I may be able to simplify it, though.

Do you happen to know whether I was overdoing it by adding in #ifdefs
for SIGHUP, SIGINT, etc.? I decided better safe than sorry, but didn't
know whether there was some basic set of signals that Gnulib's supported
platforms were guaranteed to have.
