[slim-vim] kill(2) for Windows

[Jim Bailey]

You will need the process handle - obtained during the CreateProcess()
(or spawn) call, then you can:

BOOL TerminateProcess(
  HANDLE hProcess,  // handle to the process
  UINT uExitCode   // exit code for the process
  );

If you need to test is a process is still alive I think you can use 
WaitForSingleObject(...) with a very short (maybe 0) time out to do
that.
