In generic/proof-shell.el, there is procedure labeled "MAIN LOOP" that
I believe pulls items off the queue.
The procedures that add items to the queue are in the same file.

All I'm suggesting is that the procedures that add items be moved out
of this file, and the queue itself, so that my server code as well as
the proof shell code can use the queue.

The basic mechanism of queue handling won't change, just the code
organization. It's an issue of software engineering, rather than an
algorithmic issue.
