[function returing integer as main, return value used as OS process status.]
Completely non-portable!
Incidentally, one draft of POSIX/Ada supported this, and was 'voted
down' during balloting. A conforming implementation may support an
Ada main program being a function, but an application which uses this
is no long strictly conforming to POSIX/Ada.
