 Hi,

 I'd like to propose the following function to be added to the
 System.Process module (see attached).

 This function allows for easy piping processes together using their
 CreateProcess descriptors.

 The existing "Pipe" package [1] provides similar functionality, yet
 without access to CreateProcess structures (thus no separate environment
 tuning, etc.)

 The function was tested in capri and hsffig.
