    However, if gv.exit_on_error is set, simply exit the program on failure.  Also set the following built in
    values:

    __builtin__.quiet      This value is used by the qprint functions.
    __builtin__.test_mode  This value is used by command processing functions.
    __builtin__.debug      This value is used by the dprint functions.

    Do generic post-validation processing.  By "post", we mean that this is to be called from a validation
    function after the caller has done any validation desired.  If the calling program passes exit_function
    and signal_handler parms, this function will register them.  In other words, it will make the
    signal_handler functions get called for SIGINT and SIGTERM and will make the exit_function function run
    prior to the termination of the program.

    Description of arguments:
    exit_function                   A function object pointing to the caller's exit function.  This defaults
                                    to this module's gen_exit_function.
    signal_handler                  A function object pointing to the caller's signal_handler function.  This
                                    defaults to this module's gen_signal_handler.
