Thinking more about it, couldn't you just call LoadLibrary() on the full 
path to cygwin.dll, and if that succeeds, get the process list from it 
and send out kill signals?

If LoadLibrary() doesn't succeed, either Cygwin isn't installed, or the 
DLL has gone missing; in either case, you can probably upgrade without a 
reboot anyway.
