I see this as a midway step. Currently all of the headers from util =
install either into afs/* or into the top level of our include hierarchy =
- neither of which is ideal for something as ambiguously named as =
'queue.h'. Also, there's no convention at all for symbol prefixes in the =
current util library, and util_queue seemed as bad as just 'queue'. So, =
I wanted to have somewhere else for queue.h to live, and I needed that =
soon.

My longer term plan is to rationalise util out of existence. We've =
already pulled a lot of the pure portability code out of this, and into =
libroken (where it originally came from, and where it really belongs). =
That's going to just leave us with real utility functions. I hope we can =
examine these and move them either into a new 'opr' library or into the =
library they're called from.

Hopefully that clears things up!

Cheers,

Simon.
