Good evening.

I think it would be useful if the win32 version of ocaml could at least
terminate child processes. I am not a windows expert at all, and I do not
own VC++ so I cannot test this patch (is there a free licence for it?).

However, from reading the MSDN [1] it seems that to kill a process, the
method to use is TerminateProcess and has been present since Win95. The
attached patch adds to ocaml-3.08.1 a simple version of kill which
terminates a process.

Could someone who has VC++ verify if it works?
Do others think that this functionality would be useful?
Could something like this be present in the next version of OCaml?

Thanks!
