Would you really like to differentiate between some files already
being in the queue versus *all* files already being in the
queue?  If not, then would the following suffice:

    4  /* At least one of the files was already in the queue */

Because I don't know how people are using the "pqinsert"
exit code, I can't make any promise other than I'll investigate
the matter.
