------------------------------------

             Summary: eventq_get() should have a timeout
                 Key: MYNEWT-8
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-8
             Project: Mynewt
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sterling Hughes


Right now eventq_get() blocks until an event is put on the queue (and waits forever if not.)  

In order to schedule a timeout, a callout must be used, to post an event to the queue, if now other events are present.  This is inconvenient.

eventq_get() should take an argument which is a timeout in OS ticks.  If timeout ticks have expired, and no events are present, the eventq_get() should return NULL.  If OS_WAIT_FOREVER is specified, then os_eventq_get() should maintain current behaviour.
