Maybe I am missing something obvious, but what is necessary beyond os.kill()?

I note that os.kill() does everything necessary for posix systems. I didn't notice that it took an argument for the kind of signal.

A new project for someone: combine all of the methods available to Windows into a single function.

What /would/ be useful is a complete sigaction wrapper, but that's a completely separate topic.

Like atexit, only a stack per signal?
