Personally I read 'exit(0)' faster than 'exit(OSM_EXIT_TYPE_NORMAL)',
but maybe it is just me :).

Maybe error codes could be formalized, but I'm not sure that it would be
beneficial without any practical uses (and clear requirements
understanding). Finally we can found us in a middle of the total mess
similar to how OSM_LOG_* is used today.
