* -> locale-remaining-batch -> finished -> done tasks in this order,
* if you don't implement this function in your profile.
*
* If this function is implemented, you can have any number of
* custom tasks to perform after 'configure', implementing a state
* machine here to walk the user through those tasks. First time,
* this function gets called with $task set to 'profile', and you
* can advance to further tasks by setting $task to your tasks'
* identifiers, used as array keys in the hook_profile_task_list()
* above. You must avoid the reserved tasks listed in
* install_reserved_tasks(). If you implement your custom tasks,
* this function will get called in every HTTP request (for form
* processing, printing your information screens and so on) until
* you advance to the 'profile-finished' task, with which you
* hand control back to the installer. Each custom page you
* return needs to provide a way to continue, such as a form
* submission or a link. You should also set custom page titles.
*
* You should define the list of custom tasks you implement by
* returning an array of them in hook_profile_task_list(), as these
* show up in the list of tasks on the installer user interface.
*
* Remember that the user will be able to reload the pages multiple
* times, so you might want to use variable_set() and variable_get()
* to remember your data and control further processing, if $task
* is insufficient. Should a profile want to display a form here,
* it can; the form should set '#redirect' to FALSE, and rely on
* an action in the submit handler, such as variable_set(), to
* detect submission and proceed to further tasks. See the configuration
* form handling code in install_tasks() for an example.
*
* Important: Any temporary variables should be removed using
* variable_del() before advancing to the 'profile-finished' phase.
*
* @param $task
* The current $task of the install system. When hook_profile_tasks()
* is first called, this is 'profile'.
* @param $url
* Complete URL to be used for a link or form action on a custom page,
* if providing any, to allow the user to proceed with the installation.
*
* @return
* An optional HTML string to display to the user. Only used if you
* modify the $task, otherwise discarded.
