Are mailslots implemented?

I'm wondering whether fuse (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/) might be a 
good way for Samba and Wine to communicate?   If Samba were a fuse 
server, and provided named pipes and mailslots through a single fd, that 
would be the perfect interface for Wine.

For those not familiar with why we can't use libsmbclient, it's because 
we need to make sure that many Wine processes can share reading and 
writing to a single file atomically.  ReadFile needs to be done in a 
single read() operation, and WriteFile in a single write(), otherwise 
there'll be race conditions.
