intentionally.  task-type is what it has been called in the build file
as an element, task-name is the same, unless the user has specified
the taskname attribute, which ovverides the value.

It isn't used for output messages, task-name is.  At least in
DefautlBuildLogger.

It is used to identify which incarnation of a class has been asked
for, the only current use of which is to print deprecation warnings
(if you use ecpand to run unzip or javadoc2 to run javadoc).
