Is this something you can change internally? Or by implementing an  
interrupt system like we have for ESC during render?

 From a unix perspective, having a program running in your console, I  
would prefer to be able to CTRL+C it. I can also live with a  
compromise, where I set this CTRL+C signal only when Blender starts in  
background mode (blender -b).
