A couple questions:
1. Is anyone working on NamedPipe conformance tests? If not, I'd be happy to try. (Might be a challenge to scare up a Server version of Windows, so initially I'd just write the tests on Wine, and make sure they compiled with winelib and with vc++.)
2. Since CreateNamedPipe is only available on Server versions of Windows, we need a way to avoid running the test on non-server versions. Er, I suppose checking for the presence of CreateNamedPipe would be the way to go :-) I at first tried detecting the Windows version, but that's far too hairy. - Dan
