- client (Unix): if client crashes while benchmark processes are going,
make sure they detect this and exit.
- back-end programs: remove hardwired assumptions about
what directory they run in, and hence where config.xml is.
E.g., daemons look for it in "..", others expect it in current dir.
New approach: all the programs look for the project dir as follows:
1) the environment var BOINC_PROJECT_DIR, if defined
2) the current dir, if config.xml is there.
3) else ".."
This means you can run programs in either proj/bin/ or proj/,
or (using BOINC_PROJECT_DIR) you can keep executables
outside of the project dir.

because we don't have any (matchmaker only).
- back end programs: for programs that do enumerations,
check for error returns and exit
(otherwise we'll get stuck forever if DB fails)
NOTE: In the course of researching this I came across a bug
in the transitioner: if there's a WU with more than 1000 results,
the enumeration will always return ERR_DB_NOT_FOUND,
and the transitioner won't ever do anything again.
Fixing this is a little tricky, so I'm not going to do it right now.
