2. Kill the subprocess in a platform independent manner (i.e. no third party
modules and no hacks).

I've added the feature to the Popen class a few days ago. The new
methods are kill(), terminate() and send_signal(sig ). On Windows all
methods just fall back to _subprocess.Ter minateProcess. On POSIX OS
os.kill() is used.

The code also works on Python 2.4 and 2.5 but I can't add new features
to maintainence branches.
