Hello,

	I noticed there was some talk in January about passing file
descriptors between processes.  I'm in the process of porting a daemon to
Windows and was wondering if there had been any progress made on this.
By looking at the code I haven't seen any way of getting around passing
the sockets from parents to child.  And I can't use fork to do this
unfortunately.

Thanks,
David Euresti
