Summary: subprocess.Popen feature request

Initial Comment:
I asked on comp.lang.python for a "kill" method in the
Popen
class. The answer was "the kill method is missing since
it is
not portable to Windows". However I  got this message
from Fredrik Lund

"""
 I suggest filing a "bug" report about this.  the Unix
version
is trivial, as you noticed, and it shouldn't take many
minutes to add
a TerminateProcess helper to _subprocess.
</F>
"""

So, I am following his suggestion ;-)

TerminateProcess is now in _subprocess.c.  Can you work up a patch?  It's
not likely to get done otherwise.
