Because ipc-daemon, and the cygipc package in general, sucks.  (I'm the 
maintainer, I oughta know).  There is a much better foundation for IPC 
services in the 'cygwin-daemon' code that is part of cygwin.  However, 
it is unfinished, since the primary author dropped out of sight.  We 
desperately need a hero to rescue the cygwin-daemon code and shepherd it 
to completion.
