The draft ISO C++ standard says that standard library headers shall be
included like so

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
...

Notice that there is no .h in these filenames. A C++ compiler is free
implement this inclusion in any way it likes. Evidently, gcc does so
simply by renaming/copying the old headers to the new ".h-less" names.

As far as that "queue" file is concerned, maybe it is a new include
file for a new library class. (I don't care really.) Is it actually
a problem?

If you are really interested, you can get an HTML copy of the draft
C++ standard from
