This is already in the ports tree, under the name "zap", which Kernighan
& Pike gave it in 1984. Maybe I should modify the port to install
it with an alias of killall.  The version in there now, I believe,
does support killall -HUP (I think it's  -sHUP, having chosen
compatibility with standards over compatibility with the kill command).
