Ruby 1.8 already has `kill' support.
Aren't you satisfied with it?

Current `kill' feature is:
|  kill 0      -> Test to see if process is running, don't kill
same.
|  kill 1, 4-8 -> Nice kill
cause `Errno::EINVAL'.
|  kill 2      -> Send Ctrl+Break (console only)
send Ctrl+C.
|  kill 3      -> Send Ctrl+C (console only)
cause `Errno::EINVAL'.
|  kill 9      -> Hard kill
same.


I can't judge the behavior of signal 1, 4-8.
Why did you determine such?
