[kplato] Functional Breakdown (comments)

[Jim Sabatke]

Just to be clear.  I think we need subtask functionality in the initial 
program.  I was referring to subproject functionality, where a 
subproject is a seperate project that is included into another project.

If the distinction is unclear, please let me know and I will be happy to 
try and clarify further.
