Thanks.  This is pretty easy to do on the commandline with osascript:

  % osascript -e 'tell application foo to quit'

And instead of saying "foo", you can say,
"/Applications/Utilities/foo.app", or whereever it comes from.

  % osascript -e 'tell application "/Applications/Utilities/foo.app" to quit'

Still haven't figured out how to do it from the PID yet.  It's possible,
just not a one-liner.
