;rows, and cols go from [0..num-queens-1]
;
;message-queue contains the incoming messages. We take new ones out from the head.
;col is the position of the queen on it's row.
;MyContext (current-view in the ABT) is a list indexed by queen number [col0 col1 col2...] col = -1 if unknown.
;nogoods is a list of inconsistent positions [0 1 1 0 ... ] where 0 is good and 1 is no-good.
;messages-recieved is the number of messages this queen has received.
