       Body:
There is now an optional ability to use 'timeout'.

This problem isn't solved, but this is an improvement on the current situation (for platforms that have 'timeout').

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: GUMP-35
    Summary: Failed to kill errant children
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Gump
 Components: 
             Python

Description:
Gumpy attempt to use pgrep to find "timing out" children of itself, in order to kill them. Since Gumpy uses system() to spwn them, it kills the shell not the real children (grandchildren, etc.)

Need a portable way to detect and kill all progeny of Gumpy when a timeout occurs.
