Unfortunately a thread can only wait on one Queue at once (without
polling).  So really the only efficient solution is one Queue per
thread.

Make an intelligent PutMsg function which knows which Queue (or
Queues) each message needs to be put in and all the threads will have
to do is Queue.get() and be sure they've got a message they can deal
with.
