Elena, here's something that must have fallen thru the cracks

QUIT won't quit.  As is currently, QUIT won't work unles
immediate_quit is set -- and I'm pretty sure that's not how
it was intended to work.


See the patch Joel submitted for this last August.  Elena deferred it
to after 6.1 because just setting quit_flag invokes both sets of event
handling machinery, potentially quitting twice.

given quit_flag hasn't worked for 4+ years, we might as well delete 
that.  At least that way there won't be confusion over what needs to be 
fixed.
