RE: build error messages

Excellent!

I never saw the readme, as I installed it from the ZIP in the web site,
and I cant find the readme on me machine (via netbeans anyway). Maybe
this should be a feature of netbeans, to see the readme off the module,
or in a menu in the help system

I think that this information should be in the tasklist help file as
well though, 
At least that is where I went first ;-)

I presume that you are planning that this feature will be invoked when
the tasklist module is active, without manual edit
