HANDLE hStdin = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
BOOL isPipe = ((hStdin != NULL && hStdin != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) ?
   GetNamedPipeInfo(hStdin, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) :
   FALSE);

There is some dirty code to check if the handle for stdin is using
named pipe functions or if it is using read/write file functions. Yep,
horrible.
