Hi,
I added win32_kill method to kill piped process, because
Process.kill("KILL",pid) is failed on Ruby 1.6.8.

IO#win32_kill(pid)
Terminate the specified process id.

You can kill piped process like this:

fin,fout,ferr = IO.win32_popen3("date")
IO.win32_kill(fin.pid)  # fin.pid, fout.pid, ferr.pid ->  pid of piped
process
#  Process.kill("KILL",fin.pid) also available on Ruby v1.8.0

Regards.
