Test::Harness wishlist: trap $SIG{INT}

For Oslo or whenever, I'd like to see Test::Harness trap $SIG{INT}
when running test files.  On Win32, CTRL-C at the console hits every
process on it, so killing a hung process kills the harness, too.  I'd
prefer to see the harness trap CTRL-C, check for subprocess exiting
with an error and do an orderly FAIL.

Regards,
David

FWIW, I'm experiencing similar weirdness on Solaris and NetBSD, but
haven't taken the time to thoroughly investigate it.  I probably should.
