Re: Microsoft suggests using abort() instead of ExitProcess(0)

I agree completely with Glenn.  The original code was there because at
least one official version of Windows (it might have been Windows CE)
had a defective C library which did not include a number of ISO C-90
functions.

There always was a better fix anyway; for OS implementations that do
not offer C-90 conformant library code write wrapper functions
specific to the OS and link with that.  There are very very few, if
any, such operating systems these days.
