  This would be required for any C library linked by Qgis. This is out of
 discussion.
  Qgis has to manage correctly C libraries by providing wrappers to raise
 execeptions
  when C calls fail, else people will start asking that libc too supports
  exceptions, soon or later...

 Probably he does not know, that GRASS libraries can call exit(). No
 wrapper can help in that situation AFAIK.
