Subject: [PATCH] Remove skipped tasks from the stack.

_initInvocationChain pushes the task to the stack and is called on
task.invoke and task.execute. When a task skips (like a file task does)
the task.run() checks to see if it needs to be evaluated and if not,
skips the task. Unfortunately it leaves the task on the stack causing
some weird finished task messaging and can lead to early bailing.

Lets just pop the task from the stack when skipped.
