[PATCH (GIT-GUI) 2/3] Kill the blame back-end on window close.

[Alexander Gavrilov <angavrilov@gmail.com>]

Currently 'git-gui blame' does not kill its back-end
process, hoping that it will die anyway when the pipe
is closed. However, in some cases the process works
for a long time without producing any output. This
behavior results in a runaway CPU hog.

	The -f flag is necessary for msysgit.

	For this fix I submitted to msysgit a patch that includes
	a Cygwin-compatible kill.exe in the installer.
