[PATCH] document the core-dump-to-a-pipe patch

Browse source 
The pipe-a-coredump-to-a-program feature was undocumented.
*Grumble*.

NB: a good enhancement to that patch would be: save all the stuff that a
core file can get from the %x expansions in the environment.

the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be
written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file.
