+/* Signals ------------------------------------------------------------------ */
+
+/* A word on signals, to the people using PDCLib in their OS projects.
+
+   The way they are defined by the C standard severely limits their usefulness,
+   to the point where a library implementation need not interface with the OS'
+   signals at all (which is what the PDCLib example implementation does).
+   (Other issues include, for example, that signal handlers are not re-entrant.)
+
+   Thus, it is strongly discouraged to try bolting on a signal handling infra-
+   structure onto <signal.h>. Since C's signal handling is so limited to begin
+   with, and code using it is pretty much non-portable anyway, it would be
+   smarter to keep <signal.h> in the barely functional state it is in, and
+   instead create a better, OS-specific API.
+
+   That being said, the below signals require to be defined to a positive int
+   value. I took what my Linux box defined them to; if you have to change them,
+   and what value to change them *to*, depends heavily on your environment and
+   what you are expecting <signal.h> to accomplish (see above).
