I think that is very useful and I have applied your patch to the current 
trunk. One thing I changed is that the signal handler is only installed 
if the threadframe module is installed (otherwise, you'll get the 
default behavior).

I also made this work on Windows by using SIGBREAK here. So on Windows, 
you can shutdown/restart with Ctrl-C and you can now get a thread dump 
with Ctrl-Break.

However, I have one problem under Windows: Hitting Ctrl-Break does only 
work one time. For some reason, Windows ignores subsequent Ctrl-Breaks.

Does anybody have an explanation for that behavior?
