Yes, Robert and I have talked about that in the past.  cygipc includes 
them, but once cygdaemon is official I'll add them to cygutils.

Currently, cygutils includes a few IPC test programs (but not ipcrm or 
ipcs) -- but those are only built if cygipc is installed, are are not 
included in "official" cygutils package since cygipc isn't official.

If you can
   1) give me the code -- see cygutils' HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE document
   2) also come up with an m4 macro for configure.in that I can use to 
detect the presence of a cygserver-capable cygwin1.dll

Then I have no problems adding ipcs and ipcrm to cygutils BEFORE 
cygserver goes gold.
