I believe you are wrong here: kill on Unix would *not* kill the tree of processes. Killing the parent process just does that: kill the parent process. Killing process groups is an entirely different issue. It would be nice if subprocess also supported process groups (through the same-named POSIX concept on POSIX, and job objects on Win32), but that again is a different story.
