You wanted a pipe interface implemented in sockets for some reason.
Was this because it's not possible to select on a Win32 pipe?
And if so is that the emulation of pipe presented at the same level
as the emulation of the POSIX read() etc functions? Or the underlying
Win32 API that provides pipe?

Given that I wrote socketpair in terms of TCP sockets, which runs on
Win32 (and other stuff, even EPOC, IIRC) which is in util.c, is this the
right point to re-implement the Win32 pipe() in terms of that?

Or is this irrelevant?
