[Added, brett/2005-02-13: Inserting these as things left over from previous
mails to m2-dev that were pre-lifecycle]
Multiple lifecycles will be able to be used and defined - for example "site"
would have an additional lifecycle. This interface may even be available to
users, though strongly discouraged as the default lifecycles should accommodate
almost any use case.
As the site runs through, it will want to ensure that parts of the lifecycle
already complete are not run again unless the parameters change.
eg. For coverage - no need to compile again, but do add an additional
instrumentation step, then run the tests again on the new instrumented classes
(in a new directory, not over the top of the old ones).
To simplify this, we may actually allow some steps to re-run and rely on the
file timestamping to make it effecient.
