Subject: [PATCH] - make_project: when it's done it prints out a bunch of
 instructions.     These are more than 24 lines, so in the VMWare BOINC VM    
 they scroll off the window and are lost.     Instead, write them to a file
 (project/project.readme).     Also, only write the message about example app
 if -test_app
