I'll apologize in advance if something is not appropriate, but this is the
first interaction with this project

We (another open source project) have bumped into some problems using named
pipes with multiple writers

As far as I can see, reading through history, this have been a known issue
for quite some time, but it seems like there have been some attempts to
solve it, e.g. in the branch topic/fifo (by Ken Brown)

I tried to build that branch and also tried to merge related commits to
master and build that, but all without success and I guess the changes need
some background info to understand how to manually incorporate the changes
into later versions of master

Does anyone have any knowledge about if this (topic/fifo branch) is working
and/or if it is somehow planned to make it into the master branch and end up
in a future release ?

Does anyone know of any other attempts to solve this issue ?

Kristian
