Menage a pawn

My brother showed me this set of moves in England when we were visiting last. We were analyzing a game (I lost) and talking about "The Grip" pawn formation when he busted it out gloriously. Its an interesting and useful formation that is relatively simple. I also have no idea what its called, if it has an official name at all, so were going with Menage a pawn in the hopes that no bone fide title ever emerges. Note that the placement of the king is key. If the king is within striking distance of the pawns the scenario changes completely. Take a gander, gander takers:

What shall white do?

Black now has two options. Push one of the outside pawns or capture with one of the outside pawns. Lets explore how neither option wins.
Black pushes.
White captures and can promote to whatever he wants shortly. Black has no recourse. If he pushes the center pawn white can simply capture and gain another advantage.
Black captures.

At this point the one and only way white wins is by pushing the pawn into the fray.
If black takes the courageous pawn, White modestly pushes the other.

And if black takes the other pawn, white captures the center pawn and is in the clear once again.
