This issue unifies related issues which share a common theme of a new color rule system with more flexible conditions and user-defined rules.

Current thinking: A rules DSL, a separate configuration file, and rules that affect not only colorization, but other aspects. Something like:

rule: <condition> --> <action>

This allows simple rules like this, that replace the existing color rules:

rule: urgency >= 10.0 --> color red
rule: priority == H --> color green

The immediate thought is that such a system requires multiple expressions to be evaluated in order to render a single task, and this would be slow. But machines get faster, and this would be cpu-bound, having read data from disk, which tends to dwarf processing time.
