Well, yeah, but the question was not _when_ the change was made, but
_why_. :-)

Well, you already have my implementation of pexecute() of course, it's
available as rev 34 in the 3.4.x tree. So to get -pipe back you just
have to revert.
From what I quoted above, it seems that the problem you had with the
old implementation was related to "unix paths". Should I by this take
it that you wish for the path to the executable to run (argv[0]) to be
a UNIX style path? While I don't really see a reason for this (the
case for UNIX paths which have been argued previously have concerned
include paths only), it should be simple enough to fix; all that is
needed is a call to __translate_unix_to_amiga_path_name() to convert
argv[0] into an Amiga style path that SystemTags() can understand.
