We started with a named pipe, and we moved away from that model for some very good reasons. Secondly, mod_cgid does NOT work on windows, and it shouldn't. The reason for mod_cgid, is that Unix's tend to not know how to fork threaded programs. Windows doesn't know how to fork any program, so using mod_cgid on Windows makes zero sense. BTW, APR already has named pipes. Just what are we trying to solve here?
