They look like they would work. The big advantage of Unix domain
sockets is that they are almost identical in use to TCP, so very
few code changes are required to do a Unix socket transport. It looks
like it would be easy enough to do a Win32 named pipe transport, but
more effort than a Unix socket one.

Code contributions gratefully accepted...

Cheers,

Duncan.
