I'm sending him a few very simple, special-purpose new queue implementation of mine (rabbit_ram_queue, rabbit_mnesia_queue, and the upcoming rabbit_disk_queue) to try building on. This might be easier for the moment than building on the more complicated rabbit_variable_queue, as Jon is doing now. 

Ahh, yes. It's an astonishingly bad idea to try and modify vq - that
beast is complex. The backing_queue interface is hopefully well enough
documented that it should be possible to build directly from there - the
specs are there too after all.

If the documentation is not good enough for this purpose then we should
fix that.
