Subject:	Any chance of upping MAX_DELQUEUES_PENDING?

Why is MAX_DELQUEUES_PENDING set only to 100? Sometimes I want to delete
more than 100 files (quite often in fact). Any good reason for this or is it
an arbitary limit? If so, could it be upped to something a bit larger
please?
It seems the current limit of 100 was chosen arbitarily by Geoffrey Noer in
1998.
Just out of curiosity, why is there a deletion queue in the first place?
Also, Geoffrey mentions that having an array of a fixed size is bad in the
FIXME comment at the top of delqueue.cc. Is there any reason this has not
been re-implemented as a linked list (for example), yet? (other than lack of
contributors to do it)

Chris
