suggestion: close buffer when the program exits about conque HOT 4 CLOSED

whoops, sorry -- it looks like this was marked as a defect, which it really 
isn't :)

Adding this as a configuration option sounds like a good idea, though it 
probably won't be the default mode.

After fooling a bit with the source, I managed to add this feature as follows 
(arguably not the most elegant solution)

I added a slightly modified version of your code to the new 1.2 release.

Set...

let g:ConqueTerm_CloseOnEnd = 1

...in your .vimrc

Thanks.
