Allow reading logs from fifo files (named pipes) #227

It would be nice to be able to grab the logs from named pipes created with mkfifo. Currently attempting to do this results in the error "Illegal seek".

The use case here is running the application in a docker container, where the docker host is tied down so much configuration wise that "proper" solution of configuring docker to send its logs to papertrail is not feasable.

I'd love this as well.
