It is not easy to find a short yet meaningful name for a task, so often it ends
up being very lengthy to describe exactly what it does
("create_installer_dont_build_binaries",
"create_installer_build_binaries_incremental_(no_clean)", etc., which then looks
a little odd in the GUI too).

Maybe this can be solved by allowing a description for a task (which gets
displayed as a tool tip and/or "Hudson-style" with the "question mark" symbol
kind of help facility.
