    Message Queue:
        Allow 2 script threads to send async messages to each other
        and receive async replies.

        First thread creates the Q, second thread obtains the Q
        via GetMsgQueue()

        Creator thread gets the "left" Q, and other thread gets "right" Q
        Internally it uses associative arrays as msg queues.

    Methods:
         WaitForMsgAndDispatch(strOtherWaitEvents, fnMsgProc, nTimeout)
            You should call this function instead of calling WaitForSync()
            or WaitForMultipleSyncs(). It waits for messages from this Queue.

            strOtherWaitEvents: Syncs you want to wait on.
            fnMsgProc:          Message dispatch function. The prototype is:
                                fnMsgProc(queue, msg);
                                Where "queue" is the queue which received the msg,
                                and msg is a copy of the array of arguments sent
                                via SendMessage(). (The array is copied, not the args).

            nTimeout:           Same as WaitForSync(). 0 for INFINITE.

            Return value is the same as WaitForMultipleSyncs().


         SendMessage(strCmd, ...)
           Send a message to the other thread. "strCmd" and all other arguments
           are passed as is to the other thread.

           Returns a reference to the message. Save this if you would like
           to wait for the message to be processed.

         WaitForMsg(msg, nTimeout)
           Wait patiently until after the message has been processed.

           msg: The msg as returned by SendMessage()
           nTimeout:           Same as WaitForSync(). 0 for INFINITE.
