just how important are POSIX message queues?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  i'm curious about the inherent necessity of POSIX message queues.
according to its help info, "To use this feature you will also need
mqueue library, available from
http://www.mat.uni.torun.pl/~wrona/posix_ipc/>."  and yet, that same
help info suggests, "If unsure, say Y."

  it's not clear to me why a feature that *requires* you to download
some third-party software should be recommended for selection.  is
this feature really that critically important?
