 * Usage: mispipe <command1> <command2>
 * Run <command1> | <command2>, but return with the exit status of <command1>.
 *
 * This is designed for a very specific purpose: logging.
 * "foo | logger -t foo"
 * will return with the exit status of logger, not that of foo.
 * "mispipe foo 'logger -t foo'"
 * will return with the exit status of foo.
 */

/*
 * To do:
 * Make this into a fancy, internationalized, option-handling hellbeast.
 * (But why bother?  It does its job quite well.)
