 > 3. For a given workunit, the wrapper XML standard is then used to send a package containing a non-BOINCified program and dependencies (suppose a RPM for the CernVM). This is installed using a call to !VixVM_RunProgramInGuest() by the VMWare-aware wrapper. This is then also used to start the program running.
 
-> 4. (main loop). The wrapper polls the process handle returned by !RunProgramInGuest() to see if the workunit has finished. It also calls boinc_time_to_checkpoint(); then runs !VixVM_CreateSnapshot() to create a snapshot as a checkpoint, if necessary.

 > 5. Upon successful completion of the inner job, we must copy out the results, uninstall the workunit package in the VM and move the checkpointed snapshot. The results are then sent back to the BOINC server. We can get the CPU time easily inside the virtual machine by calling the executable through time(1), say, but it may turn out to be more reasonable to use the cputime estimate made by the core client itself.
