9b4155eccc Add a test for what seems to be an obscure Windows XP bug.
* The read end of a pipe is translated to NULL by the special
   bInheritHandles=FALSE, no-STARTF_USESTDHANDLES inheritance mode.  The
   write end of the pipe works fine.

 * Passing bInheritHandles=TRUE with an inheritable pipe handle fixes it.
   Adding STARTF_USESTDHANDLES to this also works.

f635afacaf Windows 8.1 fixed the INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE --> process handle bug.
* To version detect 8.1, we need GetVersionEx to return something greater
   than Windows 8, which requires creating an app manifest.  For now at
   least, put the manifest XML next to the EXE.  It can be built into the
   EXE, but this is good enough (at least for now).
