Silly me.  I think I've once seen that your synce tools are synce- prefixed,
and I forgot that I have other tools in the path other than from synce.
That one comes from a win32 port of the itsutils from itsme.

Not really what I was saying...  I was saying something like either
creating a windows event loop that waits for a special message.  Then
build a special tiny tool called rshd-stop.exe that sends the message
to rshd.exe or broadcasts it, and if the rshd still doesn't quit itself,
kill it.  I was thinking of enumerating the processes to get at a
rshd.exe handle.  The mechanism could be reused in a control
panel applet.
