Ah, well that's a good reason to not do work for no pay!

I'll try it out.  I was just trying to build 3.0-RC2 from source and ran
into issues with the pipe backend compile failing.  I'll give your port
a try.

Excellent.  I'll report back.  If you get more feedback on this perhaps
someone could commit it?

Will do, but this is my first shot at PDNS.  Since we need to evaluate
DNSSEC support, I have to live on the bleeding edge. :)
