There have been plans to implement named pipes since more than
two years. Robert Collins was working on sth. in the first quarter
but it's really tricky stuff since they aren't implemented at all
in 9x/ME and they are implemented way different from POSIX in NT/W2K.

So the answer is "no" for the next Cygwin release.

Just so that nobody forgets it: Patches gratefully accepted.
