    Don't try to run finalizers at program exit.  This turned out to be
    hard if not impossible to do in general, so now we don't attempt it at
    all.
    
    The Main.main wrapper, previously called runIO and now called
    runMainIO, flushes stdout and stderr before exiting.  This should
    catch most cases where programs rely on Handles being flushed at
    program exit, but note that now if you simply drop a Handle in your
    program, there's no guarantee it'll be flushed on exit.  If the
    punters complain enough, I suppose we could implement a global
    Handle table and flush them all at exit... I'd rather not do this if
    possible, though.  Better to teach people to close their Handles
    properly.
