dawgtasktracker remote events are working at last.

after much sodding about, all sue to my own lack of real depth of understanding of remote events, i have finally got the remote events in the task tracker to work. what was going wrong? well firstly i was not setting up my codebase properly. once i figured that out i was getting even weirder problems that turned out to be strange interpretation of quotes in .sh scripts. then i messed about quite a bit with my jars, trying to work out what was th minimum i needed in the tasktracker-dl.jar. this paid off as it is only 4k now. see build.xml's dist target for how. so now i was sending out remote events okay and my stubs were flying out to the javaspace on my laptop, but i'd only get a single change notification and then radio silence. so i pondered on the consumability of events and thought, what the fuck, i'll go read ken arnold's spec again, and lo... what was i thinking, all i needed to request notification on was changes to a template, not the whole damn list. so after some code neatening, and other faffing the code has been committed, and i am proud to announce that remote events are pretty much working. some code polishing will now follow before the task is signed off.
