Yes, I made a tentative start on this a while ago. Each libgfs2 function 
which calls exit() will need all of its callers (and their callers, and 
their...) updating so it's going to take a fair deal more work.

If we're agreed on the convention of setting errno and returning 
non-zero (or non-valid values) to flag errors, then the way forward is 
reasonably clear.
