Ok. Do you have any thoughts on where I should put ps.exe and kill.exe?

I ended up renaming 'clear.exe' from the ncurses dist to 'clearn.exe' to avoid conflicts with the 'clear' package. (In ncurses, 'clear.exe' is not a 'test' program, so it didn't go into bin/ncurses-test-*/; it went into ${prefix}/bin -- hence the conflict which required rename)



They need to be somewhere other than /bin, but available should the user
wish to use them. Perhaps I could rename them instead? procps.exe and
prockill.exe, although those names are a little unweidly.
If anyone has any ideas, then please make a suggestion.

pps.exe and pkill.exe ? Actually, proc*.exe isn't bad -- and the user can always alias whatever he wants.
