Todo
- Internationalization.
- Add API for modifying live workflows, including ensuring that
-the modifications are always safe (i.e. you can't delete a state
-that's used.)
- Add a user interface for defining workflows.
- Add a user interface for monitoring workflows and bulk changing

- Add a user interface for defining workflows.
- Add a user interface for monitoring workflows and bulk changing
the state of workflows.
- Periodically notify people of their outstanding assigned
actions.
- Add a task list user interface, either as part of the Workflow
package, or as a separate package.
- Add support for petri nets and other models.
- Add timing of actions, deadlines, and integrate those with
calendar.
- Application integration with certain states and actions. For
-example, in bug-tracker, we treat the "Open" and "Closed" states
-specially. We also treat the "Resolve" action specially. Should be
-possible to define this link.
- Add workflow variants, so you can ship your application with

user choose between the available variants (e.g. simple approval
