I wouldn't call this a "bug" since most people won't be doing this,
but it sounds like it might be useful in some cases so I've changed
the nice value from 19 to 17 in my source tree so expect it in CVS
sometime when I get around to committing some other changes I've
been working on for the flagger.  Also found and fixed a bug in
the process while I was looking at this.  Both the JobQueue and
mythcommflag were calling nice() which would have made the
nice(17) still effectively be a nice(19) since it was called twice.
Now the JobQueue will just leave it up to mythcommflag since
mythcommflag knows whether it was called from the queue or not.
