binki
initial XML parsing for distrenjob
Key:
*-An important Item that needs to be finished
B-Initial of person who needs to fix this (Binki)
M-LordofWar needs to fix this
E-normaldotcom needs to fix this
x-finished task
=-Long-term goal

Build

Master
*-Add calls to remotio
 -Write more meat into the pseudo-code main() to pull everything together
 -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
*-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.

Slave
 -Fix current bugs
*-Add calls to remoteio, once it works or even before it works
 -Add code to write arguments for exec_blender based on the contents of a job's xml file
*-Other XML-writing/reading
	+Parse XML file and toss data in blendjob struct
	+Update exec_blender() to use the struct rather than other vars
 -Add errorcatchers to return in libcurl functions
=-Make code more flexible for different types of jobs
 -Add code to allow pausing/resuming of the slave (including a running blender process)
 -Add a threads variable for software that doesn't support threads (blender takes care of this by itself)

Options
 -Rewrite some stuff, try to make it simpler
x-Move server and client confuse code into their individual files, rather than in the common file. -- note: there wasn't any client code in options.c. There was the ``server'' section. That section is passed multiple times and provides information to remoteio on how to connect to servers
 -Review all confuse interfacing
 -Push patch for relative includes in confuse to the confuse developers
B-Expand execio() to support stderr
