 Notes:
   Initial release will no longer feature SSH auth, distrend will handle auth telnet-style. User registration will be done via PHP.

 Master
 *-Complete testing with interactive test mode
  -update frame assigner to distribute some frames for lower-priority jobs when there's a higher priority job
- 		*-make frame assigner not assign frames beyond the amount of frames in a single job
-*-Add calls to remotio
- -Write more meat into the pseudo-code main() to pull everything together
+?-make frame assigner not assign frames beyond the amount of frames in a single job
+B-Add calls to remotio -> make API for sending messages ~= a function for every type of message defined in protocol.h
  -Write a stub for getting info from the tarball/validifying the tarball. Read distren-job.xml, a file in the tarball, to find out 1. which rendering system to use (that system, e.g. blender/povray, can read more specifics, such as name of file to pass to blender and frames. Options common between different systems will be handled in common as best as possible)
  -Write a stub for publishing file and constructing job description so that the job can be shared
 *-Other XML-writing/reading such as current stats / jobs / data / etc, xml writing for job creation, ...
-*-charsets: the program should operate in UTF-8. This is partially required by libxml2's (and XML's) usage of UTF-8. We want the program's internal charset to be UTF-8 and figure out if we need w_char/whatever to fulfill UTF-8. I don't believe we do... mabye we just need a declaration that al data stored must be in UTF-8 format.
- -rename some struct members and variables to be more program-agnostic and more sensible (e.g., no blender-specific stuff)
