I'm curious about the name, osgPipe, why Pipe?  SGI used to use the
name Pipe in the context of graphics hardware/graphics contexts so I'd
be wary of reusing the the same name.

If you have happy with what you've got already could you post the
changed file to osg-submissions.  As long as there is no side effects
we should be able to merge it with svn/trunk as well as the OSG-2.8
branch as it shouldn't effect the ABI.

Documentation vs coding... the later always wins in time to market :-)
