Windows exe not dropping from task manager list of processes

[Chris Sheffield]

Check out closeStackRequest and/or shutdownRequest if you haven't  
already.  I've found that sometimes (on Windows especially),  
depending on what's going on when you try to quit, it's necessary to  
handle these messages and issue a quit command inside them.
