Providing STAILQ in OpenBSD will simplify porting to OpenBSD.
(Reality check: There is one port affected by this.)

Switching OpenBSD to STAILQ will simplify porting from OpenBSD.
(There are three or four FreeBSD ports affected by this.)

Having both SIMPLEQ and STAILQ will cause no disruption, but means
providing two APIs that are identical except for their name.

This appears to be a post-Berkeley divergence; 4.4BSD has neither
in <sys/queue.h>.
