That's all well and good -- but ipc-daemon doesn't use cygserver.  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.  See /usr/doc/Cygwin/cygipc/README.
