This code is intended as a demonstration of how the dynamic shared
memory and dynamic background worker facilities can be used to establish
a group of coooperating processes which can coordinate their activities
using the shared memory message queue facility. By itself, the code
does nothing particularly interesting: it simply allows messages to
be passed through a loop of workers and back to the original process.
But it's a useful unit test, in addition to its demonstration value.
