The Ada-name doesn't really matter, but you can't use "exit", because
that is a reserved word.  Try this:

  pragma Import (C, Exit_Application, "exit");

or 

  pragma Import (C, C_Exit, "exit");


If you have POSIX bindings, this has already been bound.

Don't say "abort", because that term has a very specific meaning in an
Ada program, different from the one you intend.

Yes, you can, by calling your Exit_Application (above).  This is a bit
of a hack, though, especially if you have a multi-threaded application.
