Quite the contrary. SVN and git both work on Windows without having
POSIX FIFOs - Windows does have FIFOS, but the semantics are different
than POSIX and this is why Cygwin's do not work as needed. There is no
problem having a subprocess with stdin and stdout redirected via
anonymous pipes to the parent: this is how git runs sub commands and
works fine. I'm just questioning why this same construct cannot be used
for the test harness.
