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
