RE: [ECOS] GUI Config tool 2.04 bug (REPRODUCEABLE) - notclosing child process

No, as I said.  The code is mine.  The documentation of the functions is
not code, it just tells you what the parameters are and stuff like that.
Like a man page does.

Anyhow, if cygwin can't kill it properly, feel free to use mine.  I did
this at home on my own time and not working for any company, and was
never paid for it so it is Mine (tm).

If it's MSDN code we can't use it though....

Also, these are cygwin processes, so they should be killed in a "cygwin"
way so cygwin can do it's own correct cleanup. Is the new config tool
linking with the cygwin dll now? If so, perhaps using the cygwin kill
should be reliable now. When the original CT came out, cygwin kill was
unreliable, leading to extra complexity in the code.
