[ECOS] Newbie-Q: Clean exits from tests and examples

[John Mills <johnmills@speakeasy.net>]

Hello -

I'm getting started with the eCos-2.0 'synthetic' target and have a couple 
of beginner's questions.

I used the command line setup:

$ ecosconfig new linux default

[edited 'ecos.ecc' tools prefix to match my installation]

$ ecosconfig tree
$ make
$ make tests

All this went fine.

I copied the 'ecos-2.0/examples' directory into my scratch directory 
and can built the executables, which also went fine:

$ cd examples
$ make INSTALL_DIR=<my_install>

The 'install/.../tests' like 'wallclock' run and exit fine. The 'examples' 
run fine,
but don't exit (i.e., 'hello' prints its output then sits until I kill it
with '^C').

$ ~/sandbox/ecos/examples> ./hello
Hello, eCos world!
[and here we stay until I issue a '^C']

Question: How should 'examples/hello.c' be structured to run and exit, 
returning cleanly to the parent Linux shell, or how should I invoke it?

Thanks.
