The problem on w32 is that w32 sends a message to the process when
delete-process is used. W32 then expects the process to answer to some
w32 message (can't remember which one right now). Cygwin does not answer
to this message. Then w32 shows a dialog box and asks the user what to do.
Does this mean it is a bug in Cygwin?
But it works quite nicely AFICT with sending signals to Cygwin instead
using interrupt-process or kill-process. So why not try these first and
then shoot with delete-process if they do not work within a couple of
seconds?
We could do that as a workaround, if it will take time for the real
fix to get into wide use. But first let's make sure that the bug
does get fixed.
