I think the problem here is that there aren't two free signals available on
each platform.  You would have to use a 64 bit integer so you can have a bit 
for each signal.  This may not be too hard to add, but probably has a 
performance impact on all the 32 bit linuxes.  But then again, maybe its not
much.

There may also be binary compatibility problems to solve too.
