[PATCH (GITK) 3/6] gitk: On Windows use a Cygwin-specific flag for kill.

Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:35:42 +0400

MSysGit compiles git binaries as native Windows executables,
so they cannot be killed unless a special flag is specified.

This flag is implemented by the Cygwin version of kill,
which is also included in MSysGit.
