Unfortunately, it's not just a matter of the compiler in use.  IIRC,
stdlib.h isn't supplied by GCC, it's part of the C library, so we'd
have to test each different OS :-(

It seems to me that the only safe way to go is to test first :-(

Fortunately, we don't have to worry about std::exit(int), since
stdlib.h, unlike cstdlib, must bring std::exit(int) into the global
namespace.
