<p>
  The script <b>bin/upgrade</b> copies files from a BOINC source tree to a
  project tree.  This is typically done after updating the source tree and
  recompiling the software.  The script must reside in the project's bin/
  directory, and you must run it from the source tree root.
</p>

<p>
  <code>upgrade</code> takes optional environment variables INSTALL_DIR and
  TOP_SOURCE_DIR, which can be useful if the installation directory or source
  directory are different from your previous installation.
</p>

<p>
  <b>upgrade</b> does the following:
  <ul>
    <li>
      It copies files from the source/html/* directories to the corresponding
      project directories.
    <li>
      It copies source/sched/cgi and source/sched/file_upload_handler to
      projects/cgi-bin.
    <li>
      It copies other programs in source/sched to project/bin.
    <li>
      It copies programs in source/tools to project/bin.
  </ul>
</p>
