The list of parameters to pass to the I<VALIDATE_AS_APPROPRIATE> channel of
every component module found on the system.

=back

Creates a new component object and stores the object for indirect interaction by
the implementer of the component manager.  A unique identifier for the object
may either be supplied or automatically generated and is returned as a means of
referencing the object.

Note: The process of selecting the component to use requires each component to
validate it's own appropriateness.  Therefore this process makes use of a
VALIDATE_AS_APPROPRIATE component channel which is expected to return either a
B<1> I<(one)> or a B<0> I<(zero)> representing B<appropriate> or
B<inappropriate>.  If this component channel does not exist it is assumed that
the component is not designed to be implemented in this way.  A component may
also provide a PRIORITY_OF_VALIDATE component channel to aid in validating where
multiple components may be appropriate to different degrees.  If this component
channel does not exist it is assumed that the component has the lowest priority.
