[Devel] generic task execution implementation

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

you know ... patches on tracker :-) ... and discussion here.

Do you see a major benefit using this approach instead of registering 
another timer function? It was mentioned in a email that future work ill 
consider having multiple timer processes (I guess it was some discussion 
about nathelper improvements).

Cheers,
Daniel
