I think it will be easier to have run() throw NotExecutable, and the others
throw NotRunning.  So if you try to call "continue" when a target is Not
Running, it will throw a NotRunning.  It doesn't have to worry about why it
isn't running, it just tells you that it isn't.  Any points where you try to
start it (the run() method) will have a NotExecutable exception.
