[En-Nut-Discussion] reliability of message queues

I just thought to do so. Perhaps I'd better write something like a
NutEventWaitMultiple(array of event queues).

I'd like to have something like this:

Start thread
do something
wait until connect event or error event (e.g. close down)
while not error {
  wait until data availabe event or error event
  do something
}

Any idea how to implement this? My first thought was to write the above
mentioned function. Message queues would do the job too but with a lot
of overhead.

One should be able to use this feature. So two seperate function sets
for using msgs from an IRQ handler and from outside should be
implemented.

Bye,

Ole
