Narrowing it down like that would certainly fullfill all my needs.

I'd be happy to provide a explicit directory for all queue administration
commands, queue runners, et cetera - as opposed to now, it would at least
be possible to solve my problem. I do however understand fully that
you're reluctant to implement and release a halfway solution, especially
if you're not sure if that halfway solution are indeed half the way to
where you want to end up when you're done.
