Re: [PATCH] use BSD queue.h for bucket lists

Did we come to any conclusion about linked list macro sets? I don't
like manual pointer juggling if I can avoid it, so I'd like to use
either dean's or BSD's macros or even an entirely new wheel.

dean	BSD   new wheel
+0	+1    -0

They help prevent bugs.

euh... I'm not exactly sure how these would help us over the simple
next/prev pointers that we have in there now.

I'm a bit reluctant to toss in add'l complexity for marginal gains.

BSD +1

regarding my ring stuff i'd rather just go about submitting those to the
BSD folks.

however, you realise that including a BSD header file in apache will mean
we might have to rename all the symbols.
