We would like some linked list macros which are (a) well known to be
sane and (b) typesafe.  BSD's queue.h meets these criteria.

The files in this changeset were obtained with:
    svn co -r 221843 svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/sys/
    svn co -r 221843 svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/share/man/man3

I posted this because I noticed (too late) that libxl_qmp.c includes
<sys/queue.h>   and uses some macros that are only available in some
queue.h versions.  This is not ideal for portability of course.

I think it would be good to include this massaged queue.h and use it
in libxl_qmp.c.

These headers cause build errors on *BSD due to collisions with the
native headers. Two solutions:

- Only use them on platforms where they do not exist
- Add a namespace prefix to the macros and use them consequently

Ian provided a script which adds a namespace to these files at build
time, or at least was supposed to. If it isn't working properly then we
need to see the actual failures you are seeing.

Ah, ok. I missed the script on review.
