;; Procedure to locate the jobs in the global job-list with the lowest

;; cell consisting of the next time (maintained in the next-time variable) and a
;; list of the job entries that are to run at this time (maintained in the
;; next-jobs-list variable).
;;
;; The procedure works by first obtaining the time of the first job on the list,
;; and setting this job in the next-jobs-list. Then for each other entry on the
;; job-list, either the job runs earlier than any other that have been scanned,
;; in which case the next-time and next-jobs-list are re-initialized to
;; accomodate, or the job runs at the same time as the next job, in which case
;; the next-jobs-list is simply augmented with the new job, or else the job runs
;; later than others noted in which case we ignore it for now and continue to
