Comment (by infinity0):

 Another solution on the internet suggests using CTRL-BREAK to act as
 SIGTERM (clean shutdown):

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1453520/run-arbitrary-subprocesses-on-
 windows-and-still-terminate-cleanly

 Its recommendation is:

 - Tor must set CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP on the PT
 - The PT must set *empty* creation flags for the children.

 I'm not certain about the latter point, but I will try to get a basic test
 case at some point.
