 * Creates a new queue instance.  This allocates the storage required by the
 * new queue and returns a handle for the queue.
 *
 * @param uxQueueLength The maximum number of items that the queue can contain.
 *
 * @param uxItemSize The number of bytes each item in the queue will require.  
 * Items are queued by copy, not by reference, so this is the number of bytes
 * that will be copied for each posted item.  Each item on the queue must be
 * the same size.
 *
 * @return If the queue is successfully create then a handle to the newly 
 * created queue is returned.  If the queue cannot be created then 0 is
 * returned.

 *
 * @param xQueue The handle to the queue on which the item is to be posted.
 * 
 * @param pvItemToQueue A pointer to the item that is to be placed on the 
 * queue.  The size of the items the queue will hold was defined when the
 * queue was created, so this many bytes will be copied from pvItemToQueue
 * into the queue storage area.
 *
 * @param xTicksToWait The maximum amount of time the task should block
 * waiting for space to become available on the queue, should it already
 * be full.  The call will return immediately if this is set to 0.  The
 * time is defined in tick periods so the constant portTICK_RATE_MS 
 * should be used to convert to real time if this is required.
