Would it be possible to do something emacs-like and have a startupHook
and shutdownHook, which are a list of functions that get called in
"order" on startup and shutdown. The network module would register the
networkShutdown function to do it's thing, etc, etc. Some utility
functions to manipulate the list would be nice ofcourse... (eg,
addStartupHook, addShutdownHook). 

Don't know if you'd consider this adding junk to the VM struct though ;-()
