Despite significant efforts, I was not able to get the contributed
task library (.../contrib/tasks) to do anything but wedge itself,
even on its own test program.
To console myself, I upgraded the supplied (and functional)
task package in .../samples/grtask to allow the creation of
semaphores and mailboxes (not included here).  I also added a few

comments to make it a bit more intelligible, and reduced the time to
task switch (by eliminating a setjmp/longjmp pair in case the task
doesn't need to change when Yield() is called.  I also added the
possibility of a single high-priority task that gets called once
between every two other tasks.
Also, I added the capability of killing a task from another,
and caused all descendants of a task to die when the parent dies.
This makes it a *lot* easier to clean things up when a program is
finished.  There were also a few other minor cleanups, such as
changing the default stacksize from 1024 (very small) to 9999 bytes.
