Launching eb-lite from perl with open2

Hi,

I have been trying to start instances of eb-lite from perl in various
ways. And, at the moment, I am most happy with the open2 method that
starts a process and gives me a read handle to the process output and
a write handle to its input. The only problem with eb-lite is that the
--pipes N M option does not let me set N=0. I changed the main.c file
as follows. This should allow connecting a read pipe to stdin(0) or
connecting a write pipe to stdout(1) or stdout(2)

161c161
<       if(p1==0 || p2==0)
---
>       if(p2==0 || p1==1 || p1==2)

So far this works nicely, but I don't know if there will be
interference from some printf to stdout, or something... Does anyone
feel this could fail? Is there a better/easyer way of using sdtin
and stdout to talk to eb-lite?

Thanks and keep up the nice work, EB-Lite is a realy nice piece of
software!
