- 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.

set the job params to reasonable values (see below),
and make it easy to change these values in the script
- create_work (function and script): change default job params:
FLOPs est: 1e9 => 3600e9
FLOPs bound: 1e10 => 86400e9
mem bound 100MB => 500MB,
disk bound 100MB => 1GB
delay bound: 100000s => 1 week
