curt cc269730a5 First stab at a "named pipe" interface to an external FDM. Compared to the 
ExternalNet interface:

- allows a much more closely coupled execution.  A remote network FDM will run
  at it's own rate, and maybe a particular data packets will come, maybe it
  won't.  This makes it very hard to control timing and keep the animation
  smooth.  There are also cpu scheduling issues with running multiple
  processes on a single machine.  The linux scheduler by default runs at
  100hz.  If an FDM process uses a sleep/alarm system to avoid wasting
  CPU, it will be forced to run at 100hz, 50hz, 25hz, 20hz, etc.  This
  makes it *impossible* to serve a display system running at 60hz without
  dropping frames.

- the downside is that the FDM process must now run on the same machine as
  the master flightgear process.
