Bug description: support for mknod(): pipe creation
Message-passing between two php3 scripts can be useful under some circumstances (example:
implementation of PAM conversation functions).
Making pipe creation available directly to php3 scripts on systems which support it provides a much
more straightforward way to accomplish this (currently, it appears that inter-script message passing
is only possible through either shared memory, or the use of an external database, both of which
include unnecessary overhead compared to a pipe).
