I'm not sure I follow what you're after. You want Cygwin to recognize when it's
setting up a pipe involving a specific executable, and to set that up as if it
were using byte pipes rather than message pipes?

I would imagine that would be difficult-to-impossible, for the same reason as
trying to work out whether an executable links into cygwin1.dll. See cgf's
explanation here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00192.html
