    A BackgroundQueueProcessingJob is a specialized form

    of a BackgroundJob for background processing of a queue.

    Each item in the queue (added by sending #add: item) 

    is processed (using the instance variable job).

    Implementation notes:

    The thread is running only if there is at least one item

    to process. When the queue is empty, the thread teminates.

    It is started again when a new item is added to the queue.
