I was kinda thinking the same thing -- you start looking in terms of 
messages and semaphores instead of a real queue manager. And instead 
of moving messages among queues, you simply pass a token around from 
place to place until mailman is done with it...

Doing this in a decent database becomes really interesting (in a fun 
way, not in a grind your teeth way)
