A few days ago i toyed with the idea of a crash dialog similar to the 
one shown in various versions of windows when an application crashes.  I 
mainly did this because i was debugging an issue with nvidia's installer 
crashing and taking out ROS in the process, and i got sidetracked.  This 
got me to thinking, what would actually be the proper way to show such a 
dialog?  My way was done via lib/kernel32/process/create.c, would this 
be the proper place?  By the way, before someone shouts out this is a 
bad idea:  a)  we need to try to do things like windows and b)  throwing 
a visible error rather than crashing silent will make our releases look 
better.  (We should also add a dialog that indicates if a certain dll is 
now found when we attempt to load an app, similar to what windows does).
