 *  process and the worker, from the master end.
 *
 *  Each worker is intrinsically placed on two linked lists.  The
 *  Queue list (maintained in the #NextQueue variable) is maintained
 *  by the pkgAcquire::Queue class; it represents the set of workers
 *  assigned to a particular queue.  The Acquire list (maintained in
 *  the #NextAcquire variable) is maintained by the pkgAcquire class;
 *  it represents the set of active workers for a particular
 *  pkgAcquire object.
 *
 *  \todo Like everything else in the Acquire system, this has way too
 *  many protected items.
