We currently deliver the SIGCHLD signal to parents when a spawn'ed process dies. We should implement the kill(1) command.
This will require adding a new kill(2) syscall, and extending the kernel's kill function to not only terminate (in the case of SIGKILL), but dispatch a signal (as well as implementing the command kill that exercises this syscall.
