For what it's worth, this should in principle be easy to do using the
new pexecute interface.  Let -pipe control whether PEX_USE_PIPES is
passed to pex_init, and replace use_pipes with true in do_spec_1.
-save-temps is a little tricker--you need to do something like build
an array of output file names, and explicitly pass them to pex_run.

Not that I've tried to do this.
