  Gnulib module: mkfifo
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function mishandles trailing slash on some platforms:
  FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9.
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
  always fails with @code{ENOSYS}:
  mingw, MSVC 9.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  If the argument exists and is a directory, this function fails with
  @code{EISDIR} instead of the correct @code{EEXIST}:
  HP-UX 11.11.
  @end itemize
