The current implementation in `passthrough.c' does the following:

This routine start a new program specified by @var{bin} passing the
socket descriptor in the socket structure @var{sock} to stdin and
stdout. The arguments and the environment of the new process can be passed
by @var{argv} and @var{envp}. The argument @var{flag} specifies the method
used to passthrough the connection. It can be either 
@code{SVZ_PROCESS_FORK} (pass pipes or socket directly through 
@code{fork()} and @code{exec()}) or @code{SVZ_PROCESS_SHUFFLE} (pass
socket transactions via a pair of pipes).

int
svz_sock_process (svz_socket_t *sock, char *bin, 
                  char **argv, svz_envblock_t *envp, int flag)

This means:
Currently we are able to passthrough a simple tcp socket (neither pipe nor
udp). There is a subset of svz_envblock_* functions handling process
environments system independent (That is something you did not see). I am
not yet sure how to pass this routine the command line (Yet another thing
you did not see).

Could you live with the above routine ?
