TCP connections are the thing which is better. ;)  Now that I think of it,
though, I don't know anything about how pipes are implemented on Windows.

You'll have to implement ITCPTransport based on a pipe.  You can probably
re-use some code in Twisted for this.  For example, FileDescriptor from
twisted.internet.abstract might provide part of the implementation for you.

You might want to look at a few other things in twisted.internet.interfaces,
too (eg, IReactorFDSet).
