    * `fcntl()' replacement.
    * `win32-socket.'c which holds Winsock-API error codes and implements
      missing BSD-style functions.

no opinion on these (sounds ok to me).

    * Write a C-level (open-pipe) which performs a fork() for Unices and
      implements kind of work-around in M$-Windows.  (It is possible to
      redirect stdin/stdout through a pair of pipes on Win32.)

i see that (ice-9 popen) `open-pipe' actually calls `open-process',
which in turn calls `primitive-fork'.  is it possible to emulate at this
level instead of at `open-pipe'?
