It was not required by the original RTEID/ORKID specifications but is 
part of the
POSIX Message Queue.

The simple solution would be to add an attribute to 
rtems_message_queue_create to
enable blocking send capabilities for the Classic API.  The default 
value should
correspond to the current behavior so no existing behavior is changed.

Submit a patch with test and documentation and it should be no problem to
merge it since it just promotes out a capability that is already in the 
SuperCore
and should be well-tested by the POSIX tests.  You would just be 
verifying it
actually worked in the Classic API.

Or you can get me to do it.  I stand on street corners with a sign that 
says "help
me -- will code for you". :)
