Hmm.  I was kinda hoping that someone else would answer this.  I guess
it isn't going to happen.

"kill" is a bash built-in.  It doesn't know about the "-f" option.
kill.exe is a cygwin program.  It does know about the "-f" option.

To use kill.exe, you'll have to type something like '/bin/kill -f 363'.
