* Fix -p function and Fcntl::S_IFIFO constant under Microsoft VC compilerJan Dubois2009-04-281-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create S_IFIFO macro as an alias for _S_IFIFO if only the latter is being defined by the standard headers (e.g. Microsoft Visual C++). This is necessary to get the C<-p> function working, and also to define the Fcntl::S_IFIFO constant.
