Get more details, and a enhanced work-flow for signaling and messaging feature (>=0.2.0)

taskKS, the task-function caller on demand, will be enhanced via 2 new features:
- signals
- messages

Signals: Direct information&starting of a task-fn with one from upto 32 signals. No Data. You could force a direct start of a task-fn specific signal-fn to inject a specific event into one task.
Messages: With including an easy construct in your task-fn you could serve received messages. And from nearly any point of this thread - taskKS is single-threaded - you could inject messages to a task-fn which is inititialized to receive messages.... read more

.. because with taskKS you could embed your process functions and they should be triggered to do a service-call only, if it was necessary (ok - on the starting code you'll need the signal call additionally to trigger the task to do somethink yet).
This should save processors-time if you had a straigt always-poll-in-any-subtask structure in your code; tell me your opinions.
Could also be combined with a message/mail system, e.g. to move events to the processfunctions via a small system - may be a feature for next versions of taskKS.
