Summary: shared library calls exit()

exit() is called in multiple parts of the library:

% grep -RiIw exit src
src/model/measurementmodel.cpp: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/model/measurementmodel.cpp: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/model/systemmodel.cpp: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/model/systemmodel.cpp: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/pdf/pdf.h: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/pdf/pdf.h: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/pdf/pdf.h: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/pdf/pdf.h: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/pdf/analyticconditionalgaussian.cpp: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);
src/pdf/filterproposaldensity.cpp: exit(-BFL_ERRMISUSE);

Calling exit() is considered to be bad practice for shared libraries and
produces warnings by the packaging tools rpmlint [1] and lintian [2].

This bug report is part of an effort to package orocos-bfl for Fedora. Fedora's
packaging guidelines require to report such issues to upstream.
