Oh, wee, another portable program bites the dust.
Is the kill in procps linux specific, eg, does it make use of the proc
filesystem? This won't work in the Hurd, so the Hurd would be without a
kill.
But then, we haven't ported util-linux yet (we can still use their kill even
if linux ports don't). Maybe we should just fork out our own version of kill,
as this seems to be the last fashion here.
Thanks,
