This patch allows kill.exe -f to deal with Win9x pids.
Needs the bash internal also a patch like this?
The bash internal doesn't kill Windows pids, neither on NT
nor on 9X. I am not in favor of adding Windows specific frills
to bash. /bin/kill is a Cygwin program, its man page says
that the -f switch kills Windows pids.
oops, my $(man kill) misses this interesting info.
because I didn't patch that away in my experimental coreutils.
I only remembered --force
