killpg for VMS.
Implement our own killpg by scanning for processes in the specified
process group, which may not mean exactly the same thing as a Unix
process group, but at least we can now send a signal to a parent (or
master) process and all of its sub-processes. In Perl-land, this
means we can now send a negative pid like so:
kill SIGKILL, -$pid;
to signal all processes in the same group as $pid.
