 Description   
I have a build which consists of several steps, each of which takes an hour or more. After each step, I need to copy the build logs to the publish directory and send a notification message of the current status. However, if I put the 'publish logs' step into the build procedure more than once, Quickbuild will not run, because the same build cannot be called multiple times. I get an error in the configuration log as follows:

2006-12-18 17:37:22,796 [Thread-1803] ERROR - Failed to trigger configuration.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Step "prop output logs" should not be used more than once during triggering of configuration "build.re.install".

Current workaround is to have six different (and identical) 'publish logs' steps, which I call in order. Ditto for the 'send status notification' email. This is not reasonable.

In 3.0 beta1, step can be reused in different composition steps and can even be repeated for a set of parameters.
