Hmmmm, all process_stratum targets do, but yes, I can imagine
a target not calling it.  We might have one internally --- remote
targets where a "process exit" is just an event and still leaves
execution in the target.  Oh, and when debugging multi-forks in linux,
and one of the forks exits, we skip the normal mourning tail end.  (Gosh,
how the checkpoints support is in the way for multiprocess...)  Not
that that matters much for Windows though.

Looks fine to me.  Thanks!
