Added GAE tasks that are related to updating GHOP Tasks. Several TODO's have been added. Also note that some functionality that is being used here is under construction and is being integrated asap. That's the price to pay for cleaner integration commits I guess :). Reviewed by: Lennard de Rijk

21. Specifying 'choices' for a field

Most fields take a ``choices`` parameter, which should be a tuple of tuples
specifying which are the valid values for that field.

For each field that has ``choices``, a model instance gets a
``get_fieldname_display()`` method, where ``fieldname`` is the name of the
field. This method returns the "human-readable" value of the field.
