[SDL] Alt-F4 not working on Windows

Except it's not up to the OS to terminate programs; programs generally 
terminate themselves, and in this case SDL is providing the means.  Your 
comment probably doesn't progress the discussion very well.  The question 
is, should SDL adhere to the standards of the operating system which is 
supports or not.  To weigh in, I think it's a good idea in this case.
