It is. The signal approach is getting really limiting. There is many
actions we want to be able to perform on a running Squid, but nobody
has been motivated enough to write a pipe control channel.

If you have written one, please submit it for inclusion yesterday ;-)

I have a old patch (from the 2.2.PRE1 timeframe) to implement
selective acl reloading which is a immediate candidate ot use this
named pipe. The original patch was rejected as it relied on cachemgr
to trigger the action and we do not want active functions in
cachemgr..
