No idea. My MQ experience is limited to IBM Integration Bus (IIB), IBM  
MQ client, a jboss which talks to the IIB (without any additional IBM  
MQ client install, not sure about possibly any java code from IBM, but  
if, then it would come with the product which runs inside jboss... I  
don't expect that), and a 3rd party "black box" which also  
communicates with IIB. All this on non-FreeBSD systems.

At least the jboss java code is able to post messages in IIB. As such  
there is compatibility. To what extend... no idea.

In my opinion rabbitMQ and active mq - http://activemq.apache.org/ -  
may or may not fit, but are at least worth an investigation. The  
alternative is to install the IBM MQ client within the linuxulator,  
and to write a linux program / use a linux python within (no idea if  
any component needs something which is not implemented in the  
linuxulator).

Bye,
Alexander.
