Yeah, I'm aware of this; I'd be happy to assign -- I'm always easy when 
it comes to IP stuff.  FTR, that doesn't mean I expect this patch to go 
in or even be looked at; I'd just like for it to be a non-issue in the 
future.

Is your tree available somewhere for perusal, Chris?  Or is there some 
way we could get a look at your WIP pipe/fifo deltas?  I'm on 
-developers and -patches if you want to change venues.

I'd definitely be keen to know where that's headed, since it impacts 
some decisions I need to make for my cygwin gentoo work -- plus, I may 
have managed to glean some insight into the limitations of what's in 
cvs... but I obviously shouldn't go much further with it if I'm just 
creating a merge situation or, worse, addressing bugs that you already 
fixed.
