There's still no predefined function for that, AFAIK.

IIUC the problem here is not really the prompt but the fact that the
C code of Emacs does not offer any way to exit Emacs without killing the
subprocesses (no way to "detach" from them).  If this were possible
a simple y/n prompt would still be sufficient, where "y" means "kill the
process", "n" means "don't kill but exit nevertheless" and C-g would
mean "don't exit".
