Do we really have to provide the ability to kill some other process?
Maybe we really only need one call with two arguments - one which is the
exit value and one which indicates whether to exit with prejudice.

cygwin_internal (CW_EXIT_PROCESS, UINT, bool);

where the bool argument is true if we want to call TerminateProcess on
this process.
