reorganized. now it posts much faster *and* uses constant
memory. there's still a speed degradation on file edges, but it's
proportional to the number of edits to a single file, not number of tree
states. that factor should be a fair bit less.

it too can be "fixed", but only at the cost of holding more of the
tree in scratch memory during the queue. I haven't put such a thing in
yet, but perhaps I'll have to. I can probably do something with a
fixed-size LRU cache of file versions, without too much hassle.

I also updated the UI to give a sense of progress during any queueing
activities, and removed the "one line per packet" printout.
