main as an exported predicate

[Thomas Charles CONWAY]

Hi

Main/2 is handled rather specially in the runtime at the moment: the
runtime contains a hard-coded call to nonprofcall for main. Is there
any reason (other than hysterical) that main shouldn't be handled like
the library_initializer - and be a predicate automatically exported to
C and then called via the usual C-calls-Mercury mechanism?
