Conventions
* Drive and Path Indicator (".../boinc/client")
For Mac and Windows-related build information, this is used to indicate
the developer's local hard drive and path on which the given subsequent
path can be found.
For example, ".../boinc/client" may actually map out
to be "C:/Program Files/Dev Studio/MyProjects/boinc/client"
on one developer's system, while it may be "E:/boinc/client" on
another's.
* Drive Indicator ("{D:}")
For Mac and Windows-related build information, this is used to indicate
the developer's local hard drive on which the given path can be found.
Note that this differs from the "Drive and Path Indicator" above, in
that the given path is an absolute and must progress only from the
root of the developer's drive.
For example, "{D:}/Program Files/DevStudio" may actually be
"E:/Program Files/DevStudio" on one developer's system, while it may
map to "G:/Program Files/DevStudio" on another's.
* Path Separator Character ('/')
For ease of typing as well as for cross-platform purposes, the '/'
(forward-slash) character is to be used as the path separator character
on all paths, whether Unix, Windows or Macintosh.

CAUTION: Stuffit Expander has a default option to convert the format of
text files to use Macintosh line endings ('\r' only). Many of the source
files involved here are cross-platform files, and have Unix line endings.
If you use Stuffit Expander to expand compressed source files, be sure to
turn off this feature as follows:
Double click on Stuffit Expander, and select File / Preferences.... Under
cross-platform, select NEVER Convert text files to Macintosh format.
