Brooke,

Hmmm.... my mileage varies....

I have found that at least wigToBigWig can stream stdin, as the following 
example should prove:

> curl ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dm3/phastCons15way/chr4.pp.gz | 
> gunzip -c | wigToBigWig -clip stdin  <(fetchChromSizes dm3) stdout > 
> phastCons15way_chr4.bw
> bigWigInfo phastCons15way_chr4.bw 

??
