Well, there is nothing wrong with extending sockets to support them,
and failing appropriately [would be really cool to return APR_ENOTIMPL
instead of {insert bogus win32 error here}.]
I'd be happy with a named pipe implementation, if -I- knew what Unix
domain sockets were... I'm afraid I'm as ignorant of your area as you
are in mine, this time :) We should probably pound this out on irc.
