Windows can't do pipes as such (afaik), but you could do 
CreateFile/CreateFileMapping/MapViewOfFile - basically, the Windows 
equivalent of mmap.  You could then use this shared mmaped block to pass 
the data back and forth between the processes.  You could implement a 
couple of wrapper functions to make this mmaped block look like a pipe 
to the rest of the code.
