[omniNotify] Priority OrderPolicy

[Ronan Heffernan]

Working with omniNotify 2.1 (x86), I notice the following behaivor: default 
OrderPolicy is FIFO (agrees with code), but when I change the OrderPolicy on 
a ProxyPushSupplier to 'Priority', the Priority is honored correctly, but 
within a set of messages with the same Priority, the order of the messages 
seems to be LIFO. Is this behavior widely known? As I understand the 
Notification spec, LIFO-within-Priority is perfectly compliant, but for a 
certain project, I need FIFO-within-Priority (or at least approximately FIFO 
within Priority, the LIFO inversion is definitely a problem for me). 

I am considering making this change myself (in the queue insert method, it 
seems). Should I contribute this code change back into omniNotify? Who needs 
to decide whether such a patch should go into the codebase? I will probably 
enclose this change in #ifdef - #endif blocks if I can keep it clean, is 
that how it should be wrapped for public use? Does anyone have any tips 
before I do this? Thanks.
