I don't think the 'maxlen' option is available from the dialplan. Further, the 
QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT function doesn't work with realtime queues.

Anyway,

I've patched the Queue application to accept an 'a' option, which will 
automatically answer a channel if it has successfully entered the queue. 

Patch against 1.4.21 is attached. Will submit for inclusion whenever I've 
upgraded to 1.6.
