Yeah, but then (1) we are not simulating a case where the external
merge driver hits a segfault or receives a signal from outside and
dies involuntarily, and (2) we are codifying that even on Windows,
program that was killed by signal N must exit with 128 + N, and
these are the reasons why I did not go that route.

Stepping back a bit, how does one typically diagnose programatically
on Windows, after "spawning" a separate program, if the program died
involuntarily and/or got killed?  It does not have to be "exit with
128 + signal number"---as long as it can be done programatically and
reliably, we would be happy.  The code to diagnose how the spawned
program exited in run_command(), which is in finish_command() and
then in wait_or_whine(), may have to be updated with such a piece of
Windows specific knowledge.
