<sys/queue.h> was, IIUC, originally an implementation detail of the
original BSD kernel, not intended for use elsewhere. Elsewhere started
using it anyway, and that's why glibc has it; there was, at one time,
enough user space software that assumed its existence to make a
compatibility implementation worthwhile. But I don't think its use
should be encouraged in new software, and in fact I'm not sure it
should be documented at all.
