    - VBOX: If VirtualBox reports an error snag both the hypervisor system
        log as well as the VM execution log.  Maybe the hypervisor log
        will tell us what is up with the virtual floppy device.
    - VBOX: Don't retry commands that are expected to fail in normal use
        cases.  It slows down getting the VM up and running.
    - VBOX: After starting the VM, use a timed loop waiting for the initial
        VM state change instead of just waiting for 5 seconds.  Older
        machines can take longer than 5 seconds to switch from poweroff
        to starting.  If we hit the main poll loop in that state the wrapper
        thinks we have crashed.
    - VBOX: Strip carriage returns from all the vboxmanage output on
        Windows.

    - client: compute projects' disk share (based on resource share).
        Report it (along with disk usage) in scheduler request messages.
        This will allow the scheduler to send file-delete commands
        if the project is using more than its share.
    - client: add <disk_usage_debug> log flag
    - create_work: add --help, show --command_line option

    - upgrade script:
        - prompt user for DB user/passwd if DB updates needed
        - error out immediately if any DB update fails
        Fixes #1169, #1170
    - create_work: check for duplicate <file_info>s in input template
        NOTE: the input template syntax is pretty clunky

    - VBOX: Fix crashing issue I introduced last night attempting to
        extract the hypervisor system log.
    - VBOX: Report the hypervisor system log with any failed vboxmanage
        command that happens during the phase where we setup the VM.

    - client: Remove scaling factor for AMD OpenCL devices.  Latest
        generation of drivers now report the correct memory size.
        They didn't wait for the next OpenCL spec change.

    - VBOX: Per tester feedback, at an hourly status report to track
        network usage.
    - VBOX: For errors where an error code is specified in the output,
        use that value when returning from vbm_open().  Make it easier
        to track failure rates by problem type in the ops pages.
        (Windows Only)
    - VBOX: Try making the process of extracting the hypervisor system
        log more robust, make a temp copy of it in the slot directory.
        Avoid exclusive file lock issues since VboxSvc will still be
        logging to it.
    - VBOX: Change the session lock text to make it clearer that the
        use of other VirtualBox management tools can cause a problem.

    - VBOX: Restore the elapsed time from the checkpoint file instead of
        aid.starting_elapsed_time.  It appears some older client versions
        are giving erratic results.

Rom    4 Jan 2012
    - VBOX: Use strtol instead of atol to parse Vbox error codes from
        stderr/stdout output.
    - VBOX: Undo my reorg yesterday with regards to report_vm_pid and
        report_net_usage.
    - VBOX: Only report network usage in the status report if
        aid.global_prefs.daily_xfer_limit_mb is non-zero
    - VBOX: Add the VM log to the list of things reported on a start
        failure.  Hypervisor log suggests that it launched the VM but
        it failed unexpectedly.  So there might be cases where it
        actually exists.

    - VBOX: Move start state change detection code from run() function to
        start() function and use similar code to handle stop as well.
        
        Weird stuff happens when people start/stop BOINC quickly,
        it looks as though the previous VM instance isn't shutdown before we
        attempt to start it again.  Hopefully enough of a wait is in there
        for the VM to fully halt before the wrapper is terminated.
