+    - compile fix to create_work.C
+    - Einstein@Home-specific hack to the locality scheduler.  For new
+      WU, I need to separate two types of 'sticky/report on RPC' files.
+      One type is used for WU names of the form FILE__ and the others
+      are auxilliary.  David, after I've talked with you I'll either
+      generalize this notion or we can eliminate it.
