Hi!

Is there any way to tell bash to do something like this?  If there isn't, I
think it would be nice to have it (maybe through a builtin or something).

int p1[2];
int p2[2];

pipe(p1);
pipe(p2);

if (fork () == 0)
  {
    close (0); dup (p1[0]);
    close (1); dup (p2[1]);
    exec(whatever);
  }

if (fork () == 0)
  {
    close (0); dup (p2[0]);
    close (1); dup (p1[1]);
    exec(whatever);
  }

I.e, each process communicates with the other via stdin/stdout, and we get the
actual results via stderr.
