A new (private) interface is supplied that allows the object watcher (coding in

proress by Darin) to Post the task (when the object is signaled) into a message
loop.

I also cleaned up the time-of-birth for tasks that sleep for a while before
running (such as those held by the timer, or by passed to this new
PostSignaledTask() interface.
