Can you point me to a URL for socketpair.c? I could look at implementing
it as well.

This is not under the GPL license, but it may be compatible. We should
probably ask

I forgot to mention that this seems to be a bug in the pipe

Yeah, the Win32 pipe code is pretty buggy. Rather than trying to debug it,
I think the best solution is to toss it

I've looked at this some. I think we need to change the parts of
netxx_pipe.cc that deal with WIN32 pipes to deal with sockets instead.
Yep. It'll end up looking very much like the existing code for non-Windows
platforms.
Note that

Right, that code is an implementation of socketpair() for Windows because it
is not provided by the Windows socket API. Cross platform refers to the
rest of the code--all

Yeah, true. The problem is that there is no close() on Windows (there's
_close() for CRT file descriptors, closesocket() for WinSock sockets, and
CloseHandle() for most other things). It shouldn't be a big deal to
abstract

Currently, all code outside netxx_pipe.cc uses netxx_pipe.cc. So I don't
see what we are gaining by replacing Unix pipes by TCP sockets.
Simplicity. See Zack's summary below.
I'm not clear what you mean by cross platform.
To me, that means
