I have been checking out, and I can open a named pipe using Windows API --
CreateNamedPipe() -- , then find a file descriptor for it (using an weird
windows function -- _open_osfhandle()) and use it with
g_io_channel_win32_new_fd() and we will have a IO Channel listening on a
named pipe (uff... some work to get a basic thing going, but thats windows).

The problem is, I am not quite sure how to write the "client" code yet, so
there is no point in doing the "server" side right now, and I had some ideas
that I'd like to discuss with you about the way we handle the fifo file, but
I'll open another thread for that, since It concerns not only the windows
version.

Just pointed it all out for you guys to see where the planning is at right
now with the win32 support for pipes in Geany, and to see if anyone with
more experience in Windows programming (I first started looking for win32
API like... 4 days ago.... and spent the other 3 days with no internet,
so...) can give any ideas or tips.
