well then what does mkfifo do on win32? why is it in coreutils? why was
it ported?

win2k and xp have named pipes... look at CreateNamedPipe in the api...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ipc/base/named_
pipes.asp

wiki has some more info
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe

not sure how useful a win32 named pipe is anyhow...
