Summary: Cannot send data that includes a binary 0

Initial Comment:
In pipe.c on lines 262 and 278, the size of the buffer to be written to the named pipe is calculated using strlen(ptr->chBuf).  If you want to send data such as [0].pack("I") the strlen will report a size of zero.  Instead I believe calling the Ruby string's size/length method would give a correct value.  I have verified that this can work by using the Win32API lib to wrap the appropriate Win32 calls and passing in my packed data with the string.size as the buffer size.

Message:
That sounds like a plan.  This package needs to be refactored in general, so I'll add that to the list.

Thanks,

Dan
