It has all the necessary hooks for ServiceManager itself. I should probably rip out that stuff eventually, and rely on cygserver. But since ipc-daemon will be replaced by the cygwin-daemon, someday, I really don't want to mess with it if it isn't broken. As far as the actual difficulties here, I think it's probably an environment issue; ipc-deamon MUST have cygwin1.dll in its user context PATH.
