The socket stuff disappeared a while ago.  I'm not sure why I left /dev/pipe
in since it shouldn't be needed anymore, either.

This is the definitive list from devices.in:

/dev/tty
/dev/tty%(0-63)d
/dev/console
/dev/ttym
/dev/ptmx
/dev/windows
/dev/dsp
/dev/conin
/dev/conout
/dev/null
/dev/zero
/dev/random
/dev/urandom
/dev/mem
/dev/kmem
/dev/clipboard
/dev/port
/dev/com%(0-16)d
/dev/ttyS%(0-15)d
/dev/pipe
/dev/fifo			# Not yet implemented
/dev/st%(0-127)d
/dev/nst%(0-127)d
/dev/fd%(0-15)d
/dev/scd%(0-15)d
/dev/sr%(0-15)d
/dev/sd%{a-z}s
/dev/sd%{a-z}s%(1-15)d
