Nobody else volunteered, so have at it. Note that I'm planning to redo
that code to use socketpair(), so possibly you want to wait to see that
before you do anything.

Hmm, after looking at src/port/kill.c it doesn't seem like there's much
of a problem with doing that. I had had the idea that our kill
emulation only worked within the backend environment, but of course
pg_ctl wouldn't work if that were so. So this is easier than I thought.
