- locality scheduler: when getting a working set file name
using glob(3), do not glob multiple times, possibly getting
back the same file name again. Instead glob once and then
randomly choose file names, crossing items off the list one
at a time. Note: I wrote this code using STL vectors and
strings, but now regret this: the necessary vector insertions
are potentially inefficient.. Sometime next week I will
recode this using a C-style pointer arrays with guaranteed O(1)
efficiency. But I want to get this into CVS while it's
working.

which may modify an EXISTING & OVER result in the database.
file_upload_handler: check for 'stop_upload' trigger file in the
project root directory. If so, return ERR_TRANSIENT to hosts which
attempt uploads. This is the equivalent of 'stop_sched' for the
scheduler. (Eric, you may want to check that this is FCGI compatible).

Cleanup of parameters that define disk free space requirements.
Previously these were spread around in different places. Now
these are defined by some config.xml options that are used by
PHP pages and by the scheduler code. See a description in
doc/configuration.php.

This is used to warn users in advance if a new minimum core client is going
to be required. Users have until time 'M' (Unix epoch time(2) format)
to upgrade. Not yet tested.

config.xml. Use the boolean tag <cache_md5_info> to enable it.
This prevents the work generation library from having to go back and
continuously regenerate the md5 sums of your input data files. Note
that reading these from disk can be expensive if you have many such files
that are large and that you re-use. See check-in notes from 30/31 Dec 2004
for some details.

no work was sent to hosts, and available space<0 OR if available space>0
but work was unfeasible because the disk bound requirements of the work
exceeded the available space.
Added a new config.xml boolean element called 'choose_download_url_by_timezone'
This requires that projects provide a 2-column file in the project root named
'download_servers'. An example is:
3600 http://einstein.aei.mpg.de
-21600 http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu
The first column is offset from UTC in seconds, and the second column is the URL
of the download server. When enabled, the scheduler will replace the download
path for data and executables by a list of download URLs, ordered by proximity
to the host's timezone. The download path must start with the
BOINC default download/ and the different download servers must have identical
file paths under download/, in other words they must be mirrored.

of gcc to try and force them to not complain with -Wall but to always
include this, I decided to take a simpler approach. All these strings
now have global linkage. To prevent namespace conflicts they all
have different names. For the record, the variable extension is a hash made of the first ten characters of the md5sum of the file path, eg:
md5hash=`boinc/api/x_opengl.C | md5sum | cut -c 1-10`

the top of all .C files. This means that 'string' or 'ident'
run on an executable will tell you the exact file versions used
in building it, since CVS replaces $Id$ with a complete version ID
string. Declaration is volatile so that the compiler won't remove
it even under agressive optimizations.
