tweaked the blendjob structure

tweaked my functions to support the two new global variables hcfjob and highest_jobnum. Need to check functions for 100% accuracy due to start frame - end frame not = 0 frames to be rendered.

added a bit more to the status report generator

for the frame_finder function... it only returns a interger for the frame to be rendered... but the slave also needs the name of the folder the source files are stored in, and the name of the blend file to open to render the frame. Maybe return a string? and have the slave parse it for variables?
/*
  Configuration file for distren.
  Currently, this file is being prepared as the goal for this project. For instance, the ability to support connecting and communicating with servers is suggested by the server sections.
*/

/*
  currently, server's are only supported rudimentarily. If a job has n frames and there are s servers, n / (s + 1) frames will be sent to each individual server and also rendered on the machine the job was submitted to. There will be no recursive distribution of jobs, but I want to make that possible in the future. AND, I want job IDs to have significance based on 1: the files, 2: the versions of software used to render just like git, mercurial, or bazaar's commit IDs have significance. This will allow global distribution of renderjobs without requiring central servers to coordinate the jobs - a network only need be distributed. And complex algorithms based on timeouts and completion of jobs should allow slow servers to reassign jobs to fast ones and, possibly, find shorter routes to return the resulting images to the original job submitter.

  Just a pointer, for the multiple server architecture, we would need to designate one server as a "master" server to avoid obvious issues. We can code it flexibly though. --Normaldotcom
     I don't know what ``obvious'' issues you're talking about ;-) --ohnobinki
