This is not hardcoded, you can set it up in init just fine. (Well, I
should not use SIGWINCH but some other signal). C-A-D is handled in
very similar way, and I think it is the right way, and should be
extended to halt, too.
I just don't want to run acpid just because I want
powerdown-on-powerbutton.
