Richard Barry 4c3722bd76 Preparing for new release...
Kernel changes:
- Remove an assert that was preventing xQueueSendFromISR() being used to give a mutex from an ISR (mutexes cannot be given using xSemaphoreGiveFromISR()).
- Introduce xTaskNotifyAndQueryFromISR() as the interrupt safe version of xTaskNotifyAndQuery().

Common demo task changes:
- Update IntSemTest.c to prove the theory that it is safe to give a mutex type semaphore from an interrupt using xQueueSendFromISR() instead of xSemaphoreGiveFromISR().
- Update TaskNotify.c to test the new xTaskNotifyAndQuery() from ISR fuction.

Directories:

+ FreeRTOS/source contains the FreeRTOS real time kernel source code.

+ FreeRTOS/demo contains a pre-configured demo project for every official 
  FreeRTOS port.
  
+ See http://www.freertos.org/a00017.html for full details of the FreeRTOS
  directory structure and information on locating the files you require.

  + FreeRTOS-Plus contains additional FreeRTOS components and third party 
  complementary products.  THESE ARE LICENSED SEPARATELY FROM FreeRTOS although
  all contain open source options.  See the license files in each respective
  directory for information.
  
+ FreeRTOS-Plus/Demo contains pre-configured demo projects for the FreeRTOS-Plus 
  components.  Most demo projects run in a Windows environment using the 
  FreeRTOS windows simulator.  These are documented on the FreeRTOS web site 
  http://www.FreeRTOS.org/plus

Further readme files are contains in sub-directories as appropriate.
  
The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo 
application projects (found in the FreeRTOS/Demo directory).  That way you will
have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths
configured.  Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove
the demo application file, and start to add in your own application source
files.
