What I'd really like is something that's portable to pretty much
everything, so that I can standardize on one queue storage if
possible.   The file queue is actually fairly good, but I'd like to
cut down on the IO if possible by just having everything in one or two
files.  Plus I just wanted to see if I missed something obvious, it's
happened before:)

It's for stompserver.

BDB does but as far as I know the ruby extension for it only works on unix.
