Hello,

this patch implements PeekNamedPipe() for anonymous pipes
(since named pipes are not supported by wine yet). To get 
this working, I changed the pipe creation in the server from
pipe() to socketpair(), because I found no way to read the
content of a UNIX pipe without changing its state. 

I am not very happy with this implementation,  because it has to 
allocate a temporary buffer, if the caller requests the number of 
bytes in the pipe. If there is a way to
get this information without reading the content, I would like 
to hear how.

This patch enables a well known IDE to actually compile programs. 


Greetings,

Peter Ganten
