Hi Camm.

Before we attempt a point release based on run-process() it would be nice to
find some definitive cross-platform tests which cover the functionality
required by Axiom.

When I implemented that function for Windows I used pipes whereas the Unix
code uses a socket pair.  There are no AF_UNIX sockets (AF_INET is OK) or
socket pairs per se on Windows.
