The builtin pipes support uses stdout/stdin/stderr on the child side
and one end of the pipe from pipe() on the parent side.

But nothing is stopping you from doing your own pipes stuff. There's a
ChildSetupFunc to run arbitrary code right before the exec if
necessary.

However my reading of oaf_server_by_forking() is that it's just using
the standard pipe()-and-dup2(pipe[1],1) pipe that g_spawn can do for
you.
