Actually, I'd rather just make a libsupc++/vterminate.cc, rather than
making eh_terminate.cc pull in the I/O library. Right now eh_terminate.cc
is very minimal. The verbose handler and all the extra baggage will be
pulled in only if eh_terminate.cc still initializes __terminate_handler to
the verbose function -- and that's something the user could easily change.
Or perhaps we'll provide some way of doing it.
