This makes sense, and I recall wondering about it. Looking at it again,
I see why didn't go that far: there is a mini-unit test manager inside,
passing around priorities that are signed, throughout:

         struct test {
         	char *desc; void (*func)(int *);
         };

         ...

         void inc_prio(int *prio) {
         	if (++*prio == mq_prio_max)
         		*prio = 0;
         }

However, I can probably fix up everything to match up. Given that you've
called it out, I'll go ahead with that approach. Iit will be quite a few
changes but they will all be trivial too.
