Originally, the idea for remote file management was that
the physical name of a file was its md5, or jf_md5.
This was changed to let the submitter choose the name.
But in the DB (job_file.md5) we only kept 64 chars.
Change the field name to job_file.name, and change it to varchar(255)
- The RPC handler was expecting the "BOINC names" to be the file MD5.
This is no longer true; the BOINC name can be anything as long as it's unique.
- To reflect this, use <phys_name> instead of <md5> in request messages.
This means that you'll need to update both RPC client and server software.
- BoincJobFile::insert() needed to return the insert ID
- Batches now have optional "expire time".
If this time passes and the batch is not retired, abort and retire it.
- Add script "expire_batches" which enforces the above.
Run it as a periodic task.
- Add a web RPC for setting the expire time of a batch
(it can be changed multiple times)
- Add a C++ interface for this RPC
- Add a BOINC_SET_LEASE command to the BOINC GAHP
("lease" is Condor term for expire time)
- add fields to batch table, extend APIs accordingly
- require that example web interface run on BOINC server
(this makes many things easier;
an actual remote interface would require a bit more work)

and controlling batches of jobs
- web: add an administrative interface for controlling
user permissions for submitting jobs
- web: add an interface where users can view and control
their submitted jobs
See: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/RemoteJobs
This is at a functional but rough stage.
