Comment:

 Initial implementation is in my alt_cmux_policy branch.  This seems to
 work okay in initial testing.  The memmove() bugs me a bit, but this is
 just for demonstration purposes and I don't expect the queue to ever get
 very large.

 On reflection, this policy only depends on the order of the timestamps,
 not their values, so if we used abstract sequence numbers (globally or per
 cmux, but shared between circuits on a cmux) instead, incrementing
 whenever growing the buffer, we could get the same effect without the
 potential clock monotonicity or the gettimeofday() syscall.
