I would prefer to first work out the interface details. Basically we need a
new state of a package ("claimed") and some infrastructure to claim/release
packages and stuff in the data we get from the child machine. As I have to
rework the state stuff anyway (for the error/retry stuff), it makes sense to
defer this a bit. But if you think that you can hack something useful to you
without setting this in stone, you are welcome. I just can't promise
currently that it will be the way to go when I come to think about it.

Please check it. I might be wrong (I know it was needed in the past,
though.)
Thanks,
