I don't understand why an external "kill" process is applied. Couldn't
we simply call always `signal-process'? A comment in
`proced-send-signal' recommends this already.

Then we could give `signal-process' a handler, like `interrupt-process'
has already. (Well, we would need a mean to indicate, that a process-id
is meant for a remote host.)
