[users at bb.net] Killing a windows task(process) using taskkill from the shellcommand

[Dan Kegel]

FWIW, I invoke a script for my build steps, and it has the line
taskkill /F /IM mspdbsrv.exe /T
in it.  Works great.   While it may seem strange to put
the build logic in a script (or batch file) rather than in build steps,
it sure makes debugging easier.
