If it overwrites it, then I have packaged it wrongly. It should put ps.exe
and kill.exe into separate subdirectories, i.e. /bin/procps/ps.exe and
/usr/bin/procps/kill.exe.
Indeed, I have just verified that this is what happens.
In other words, if you want to use the procps versions of ps and kill (which
don't support Windows processes), then you can add /bin/procps and
/usr/bin/procps to your path ahead of /bin. By default you are using the
Cygwin versions.
