add a mechanism so that apps can report sub-processes
that are not descendants (e.g., virtual machines)
These processes are then counted as part of the app,
not as "non-BOINC CPU time".
This fixes a bug where processing was incorrectly suspended
because CPU usage by VM apps exceeded the "CPU usage limit" pref.
Implementation:
- the PIDs of the processes in question
are passed from app to client via shared-memory,
in the app_status channel.
A new variant of boinc_report_app_status() supports this.
- the VBox wrapper queries the PID of the VM,
and reports it in this way.
- procinfo_app() includes a new argument: a list of PIDs
that are part of the app, although not ancestrally
related to the main process.
- in the client, ACTIVE_TASK now includes a vector "other_pids".
If this is nonempty, it's passed to procinfo_app().

could use the following for safe exit checking.
#ifdef _WIN32

fprintf(stderr,"-> Worker received exit request, syncing Cuda...");

fprintf(stderr," Worker Freeing Cuda data..."); cudaAcc_free();
fprintf(stderr,"Done.\n"); \
fprintf(stderr," Worker Acknowledging exit request, spinning->\n");
worker_thread_exit_ack = true; \
while (1) Sleep(10); \

} while (0);
#else
#define SAFE_EXIT_CHECK do { \

} \
} while (0);
#endif
#else // Linux or other probably have their own safe exit handling, defined as
blank, do nothing
#define SAFE_EXIT_CHECK
#endif
and install at the top of the cffft loop, and more locations if desired:
SAFE_EXIT_CHECK;
I'd like to implement these as BOINC API functions, but have not yet done so.

- client: fix (I think) to scheduling logic.
a job is preemptable if it's finished its time slice and

i.e. those that create subprocesses.
Previously, the client's job control options (suspend/resume/quit)
would not work for subprocesses.
Multiprocess apps must initialize with something like:
BOINC_OPTIONS options;
boinc_options_defaults(options);
options.multi_process = true;
boinc_init_options(&options);
Note: an application can be both multi-thread and multi-process.
In this case set options.multi_thread as well.
- wrapper: add support for multi-process apps.
Previously, suspend/resume operations did not work for subprocesses.
If a task is multi-process, you must include
<multi_process>1</multi_process>
in its descriptor.

Not necessary.
- wrapper: add optional <append_cmdline_args/> element to
task descriptor.
If set, pass the wrapper's cmdline args to that task.
NOTE: previously they were always passed.
If you want this behavior, you now must set this.

1) old-style apps with graphics in main program.
No one should be using these anymore.
2) writing init_data.xml in boinc_finish().
This was used by deprecated "compound app" scheme
- scheduler: if request reports results that were previously reported,
that's evidence that the previous reply was not received by client.
It may have contained results.
So set a "resend lost results" flag.

This file originally used code from the following tutorial,
which shows how to open a window using GLUT:
http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=01
The code has now been completely rewritten;
in particular, it doesn't use GLUT anymore.
