hopefully it's not too OT,
as most here seem to always hunt for small tools to use in lua environment,
and  the pattern to have a socket
(or whatever else might be a bidirectional stream)
filtered by an external process might be worthwile to
make it to a lua extension.
Diego, what do you think?

find source with instructions at http://malete.org/tar/sslio.c
or static linux binary (48K) at http://malete.org/tar/sslio.gz


The actual fork/dup sample is Unix only, however the same
can be done on win, which is left as an exercise to the reader.
(The socket pair need not be PF_UNIX, try PF_LOCAL or PF_TCP, see
