- VBOX: If VirtualBox reports an error snag both the hypervisor system
log as well as the VM execution log. Maybe the hypervisor log
will tell us what is up with the virtual floppy device.
- VBOX: Don't retry commands that are expected to fail in normal use
cases. It slows down getting the VM up and running.
- VBOX: After starting the VM, use a timed loop waiting for the initial
VM state change instead of just waiting for 5 seconds. Older
machines can take longer than 5 seconds to switch from poweroff
to starting. If we hit the main poll loop in that state the wrapper
thinks we have crashed.

- OpenCL:
Problem: Mac OpenCL does not recognize all NVIDIA GPUs returned
by CUDA. Since there is no CAL for Mac, this is not an issue
for ATI / AMD GPUs. On other platforms, the CUDA and CAL drivers
also provide OpenCL support, so we don't expect the problem there.
Solution: I believe that CUDA and OpenCL return identical GPU
model names for the same GPU, and that both return the GPUs in the
same order (but with some possibly omitted from the OpenCL sequence.)
We use that information to correlate the OpenCL data with CUDA data.
We use our internal CUDA device_num for the corresponding OpenCL
device, but add a new field opencl_device_index; the two fields are
equal unless we have CUDA devices not recognized by OpenCL. We
add a new array opencl_device_indexes[] to the COPROC struct,
corresponding to the entries in device_nums[].
The init_data.xml file now has a new field gpu_opencl_device_index.
If this field exists, the boinc_get_opencl_ids() API uses this to
find the cl_device_id and cl_platform_id, otherwise it continues
to use the value in gpu_device_num.

If this is the case, download NAME.gz and save it as NAME.gzt.
When the download is complete, rename NAME.gzt to NAME.gz,

(this ensures that if NAME.gz is present, it's complete).
Also do the uncompression, if needed, in verify_file().
