There is no POSIXy way to cleanly shutdown a process if that process
is a native Windows process since said process will not honor any
signal sent to it.

The only way to do that in Windows is to use some kind of IPC to
communicate to the foreign process that it's supposed to shutdown.  If
that process is a Cygwin process, that's handled via sending a signal.
If that process is a native process, Cygwin has no control over it.
