Yeah, I'm not too surprised. I'm guessing your st_ino for pipes are all
just the same or something. Or maybe S_ISFIFO doesn't pass (we don't
technically need it, I don't think, and could just drop that check).

Anyway, I had planned that we would need to stick a big "#ifdef WINDOWS"
around these two functions.

Cool. I can't comment on Windows-specific stuff, but I'm happy to review
the rest of it. :)
