Specify wait length for Exit function

I submitted this as a feature request:

It would be nice to be able to specify an amount of time
(seconds) you must hold down the exit button to
actually exit a game. I realize there is the misc_safequit
but I would prefer not to deal with a confirmation step
to prevent accidental exits.

However, I believe I have come up with a viable solution of my own:

In advmame.rc I have set:

misc_safequit yes

and I have this script:

script_emulation loop{wait(event(ui_cancel));
repeat(100){if(event(ui_cancel)){delay(10);}} if(event(ui_cancel)){
simulate_event(ui_down,100); } simulate_event(ui_select,100);  delay(50); }

and in the source file in glue.c I changed the menu from:

Continue
Exit

to:

Release Button to Continue
Hold Button to Exit

Basically I'm just using safequit but if the cancel key is held down for a
second the script inputs down and select otherwise it just inputs select.
So far it works like a charm.  Just thought I'd share the info in case
anyone else is interested.
