[saga-rg] job states...

[Gregor von Laszewski]

I had not had the time to review all of this, but I like to suggest that 
a "task" has also the option to be suspended or resumed.
you also need an introspector to actually find out if for example a 
particular feature has been implemented or not. You ma be in the need to 
define
NonSuspendableTasks in which you for example do not have resume or 
suspend options. This has actually implications on how we intend to use 
this as part of future portal developments. Hers the "tasks" could 
encapsulate a lotincluding file transfers and job submissions ... As a 
file transfer as wll as a job could be suspended its important that both 
have at least the ability to be supported in that way.
