That's why he said "supports message queues and UNIX domain sockets". That
is to say:

	#ifdef BSD
		... code for sockets ...
	#else
		... code for message queues ...
	#endif

So he wasn't as insane as he sounded. However, as a user of one of the 
system that supports neither... but does support named pipes... I do disagree
with his conclusion.
