mkfifo() is unsupported under Cygwin, which hardly comes as a
surprise, since most special files found in Unix have no corresponding
equivalent in Win32: symlinks, hard links, fifos, block specials,
character specials... Have a look at:
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC18
for the entry for mkfifo().
