Hi,

At the moment, when we run a playbook, these headings look like this, for example:

```auto
PLAY [all] ******************************************************************** 

GATHERING FACTS *************************************************************** 

```

```auto

```

```auto
TASK: [Wait for CQ5 to be ready] **********************************************

```

```auto

```

```auto
Is there a way to make them print the host name of the machine they are executing on?

```

```auto

```

```auto

```

```auto

```

tasks print hosts they executed on (past), currently the callbacks  
don't allow for that.  
it should be easy to see with a ps as ssh should show which host it is  
currently running at.
