It should be trivial to s/pipes/shlex/ there.  But this file is
not actually used in samba (or in talloc/tdb/tevent which uses
the same build system).  Samba just bundles the whole thing, but
uses only selected part of it, and genpybind.py is not one of them.

I *hope* it is enough to close this bug report (and other similar
ones).  Is it?
