As Andrew Dunstan has more or less already stated, I'd rather mimic the Unix
paradigm (with, say, a pair of socket endpoints), or rejig the existing
code-base, than to solve this with Win32 API calls.

[FWIW, I wrote a kludgy replacement for pipe() under Win32 that did just
that (ie. connected and returned a pair of sockets). Not a line of the
existing code required changing...]
