Hmm, but when? How about this: I always register the signal handler and use
GB_HOOK_WATCH to detect when nothing is watched anymore. Then, I can remove
the signal handler and the program will terminate.

The only case where this doesn't work, is when nothing is watched at all
during the process' lifetime...
