Description:
The kill command is provided by util-linux, so we remove it from the procps-ng package. However, procps-ng comes with a build option to not compile kill in the first place. This might seem nitpicky and it only saves a second or two, but imho it looks much nicer this way.

The affected version is 3.3.12-1.

Attached is a small patch for the PKGBUILD.

Ha ha ha!

It was just quicker to add `rm kill` that to look up whether there was a configure switch for it.

But thanks, that's indeed nicer!
