[gs-devel] exit status on VMS and getting GS API working there

Jacob and Forrest,

Attached is patch to prevent gsapi_exit() from calling 
exit() on VMS, and to still allow the correct return code
from main() in gs.c.

Could you please test this and let me know the results?  If 
the patch is correct I will submit it for official code 
review.  

My only concern is that it changes the default return code 
from 255 to exit_FAILED.  This default is rarely used, but 
it may be returned from "gs -h".
