Resque durability

Resque (https://github.com/defunkt/resque) is nice, but doesn't provide durability. When a worker "reserves" a job, it actually just pops it from the data store, which deletes the job. If anything happens to the worker after it pops the job, the job is lost forever. However, the author of Resque, defunkt, doesn't want reservation or retries added, and has rejected such patches in the past. Therefore, this may not be worth doing with Resque unless someone wants to maintain a fork of it forever.

Background

1. https://github.com/defunkt/resque/issues/16 -- where defunkt writes "Resque is explicitly designed to never re-try jobs. Ever, under any circumstance." and "If you need jobs to never fail and never slip through the cracks due to failure you may want [something else]".
2. https://github.com/defunkt/resque/issues/93 -- where defunkt write "Resque
