Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_enable-named-pipe

"Command-Line Format 	--named_pipe"

Should this not read 

"Command-Line Format 	--enable-named-pipe"

Also, there is no default value listed. Default is disabled.

How to repeat:
C:\mysql\bin>mysqld --named_pipe
...
C:\mysql\bin>tail ..\data\MySQL.err
...
100928 10:58:54 [ERROR] mysqld: unknown option '--named_pipe'
100928 10:58:54 [ERROR] Aborting

100928 10:58:54  InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
100928 10:58:59  InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 3378271018
100928 10:58:59 [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete

(--enable-named-pipe works fine)

Suggested fix:
#1 s/--named_pipe/--enable-named-pipe/
#2 Add default (disabled)

Discussed with Roel on IRC -- so I'll take this one.
