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?
