that is actually --disable-portmidi right?

Fortunately this is not an issue, since exactly the same starting and
stopping of threads is done even if there are no backends, a dummy
backend exists which is used. The only thing that intervenes is the
portaudio backend doing that deliberate hanging on waiting for stdin
(The Press Enter prompt thing).
I couldn't test what the hanging with the --disable-portmidi version
that I saw was due to because I didn't get enough time on the machine to
run it under gdb. When I looked on another occasion it was that Enter
prompt. I'll test tomorrow. But I noticed that the other installer with
MIDI-in enabled was also hanging on exit, which is curious.
I'll get to look at this tomorrow too.
