Bug description:  can't use pipes to deliver script via PATH_TRANSLATED

Description:
------------
I'm trying to call php-cgi.exe from inside my app, and I wanted to supply
the script via a pipe.  so I set the pipe name \\.\pipe\testpipe in
PATH_TRANSLATED, but php-cgi.exe won't read from there.  it failes in
virtual_file_ex() being confused thinking it's a unc path, and skipping the
. component, and trying to use FindFirstFile to test if valid.

Reproduce code:
---------------
see above

Expected result:
----------------
see above

Actual result:
--------------
see above
