Yes, that was my original plan, but I somehow never got around doing it and
I'm not sure, that it is general purpose enough to be added to GLib.

I might ask on gtk-devel-list about the opinions of the other developers
sometime in the future.

As I'm quite busy right now, that might take some time. One thing, that must
be changed in my opinion is, that you are not able to pipe NULL through thus
queue, which you should be able to. I'll have a look at it.
