 call directly. Is this possible? Which library do I need for the 
 DllImport directive?
 
 One other question: in general, when I want to use platform invoke, 
 it's not always obvious in which library I can find the entry point. 
 Is there any way to find out?

+This hack is terrible because kill isn't always in /usr/bin. (On Mac 
+OS X for example, it's in /bin.)
+
+Looking at the source, Kill() calls Process.Close(1) internally.
+Why not change it to call Process.Close(9) instead? That would make 
+sure that the process is *killed*, period.
+
+BTW -- System.Environment.Exit doesn't do the job either because it 
+calls finalizers and basically does an orderly shutdown (well, 
+mostly). We really need a instant and abortive kill of some kind.
