[BProc] ANNOUNCE: BJS 1.0

[Erik A. H. <er...@he...>]

I've released the scheduler we've been working on for BProc.  PLEASE
READ THE RELEASE NOTES!

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=24453&release_id=104390

Here are the release notes and a change log:

1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first public release of BJS.  BJS is a simple/efficient
scheduler for clusters running BProc.

--- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING ---
THIS IS NOT PRODUCTION QUALITY CODE.  THERE ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY SEVERE
SECURITY HOLES IN THIS SYSTEM.  SINCE THE BJS SERVER MUST RUN AS ROOT, IT
IS LIKELY THAT ANY SUCH HOLES CAN/WILL LEAD TO ROOT COMPROMISE.
--- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNING ---

Ok, got that out of the way.  Normally, I wouldn't call code like this
version 1.0 but there are political reasons for doing so.  This code
is being released in this state so that people willing to work with
something that's not 100% finished or secure will have something to
work with.  I hope that those people will also help us get this
scheduler into a production ready state.

Please note that the student who wrote this code (Paul Ruth
<ru...@ac...) will be returning to school.  It's good to
include him in any discussions regarding the scheduler but I will be
the one merging patches, making new releases, etc.
