/*
 * w32pipe:  win32 clone of npopen.c--utilizes native pipes for hosts
 *           and shells that can handle same, else falls back on temp files
 *           (but uses a much different algorithm than that of npopen.c).
 *
 * Background
 * ==========
 * The techniques used in native_npclose() and native_inout_popen() are
 * derived from much trial and error and support "pipe" I/O in both a
 * console and GUI environment.  You may _think_ you have a better way of
 * effecting the functionality provided in this module and that may well be
 * the case.  But be sure you test your new code with at least these
 * versions of Win32:
 *
 *      win95, win98, OSR2, NT 4.0, win2K
 *
 * For each HOST, be sure to test read pipes, write pipes, and filters (and
 * test repeatedly within the same vile session).
 *
 *
 * Acknowledgments
 * ===============
 * Until I read Steve Kirkendall's code for the Win32 version of elvis, I
 * did not realize that attempting to redirect stdin to a device is a
 * _not_ a good strategy.
 *
 *
 * Caveats
 * =======
 * -- The MSDN Knowledge Base has example code that uses anonymous pipes
 *    to redirect a spawned process's stdin, stdout, and stderr.  Don't go
 *    there.
 *
 * -- On a Win2K host, DuplicateHandle() failed.
 *
 * -- The original Win95 console shell (command.com) accesses the floppy
 *    drive each and every time a process communicates with it via a pipe
 *    and the OSR2 shell abruptly hangs under similar conditions.  By
 *    default, then, on a WinNT host, vile's pipes are implemented using
 *    native pipes (i.e., with the code in this module), while Win95 hosts
 *    fall back to temp file communication.  If the user's replacement
 *    Win95 shell does not exhibit communication problems similar to
 *    those described above (e.g., any 32-bit shell), vile may be
 *    forced to use native Win32 pipes by setting the global mode
 *    "w32pipes" (e.g., "se w32pipes").  For further details, including
 *    a description of "force-console" mode, refer to the file
 *    doc/w32modes.doc .
 *
 * -- This module's native pipes implementation exhibits various problems
 *    when a 16-bit console app is exec'd.  On a win95 host, the editor
 *    and shell generally hang.  WinNT does better, but winvile creates
 *    "background" shell windows that require manual closure.
 *
 * -- This module configures read pipes so that the exec'd app reads
 *    it's input from an empty file.  That's a necessity, not a bug.
 *    Consequently, if an attempt is made to read data from an app
 *    that itself reads input (why would you do that?), the app will
 *    appear to hang if it reopens stdin on the console (because vile's
 *    stdin is not available to the app--another necessity).  In this
 *    situation, kill the app by typing ^C (and then please apply for a
 *    QA position with a certain Redmond company).
