  * MGR: Add an "Exit BOINC" button ("Quit BOINC" on Mac) to async RPC "Communicating with BOINC Client. Please wait..." dialog.  This allows users to exit BOINC more easily when Client is unresponsive.

  * WINSCR: It appears newer notebook models with multiple video chipsets exhibit an interesting situation.  It appears as though in certain conditions a single monitor machine actually reports itself as having three monitors.  Normally the monitor that contains the primary window (coord 0,0) is on monitor 0, but on these machines coord 0,0 is actually on monitor 2.  This led to the screensaver not properly exiting when keyboard and/or mouse activity was detected.  Now when we detect that keyboard and/or mouse activity has happened we send the WM_INTERRUPTSAVER event to all windows on all monitors.
  * WINSETUP: When uninstalling, don't migrate the client data back to the 5.x location.

- * MGR: Async RPCs: RPC thread is now a joinable thread which does one RPC and exits. Main thread creates a new RPC thread for each RPC request after waiting for any previous RPC thread to exit. This simplifies the logic, eliminates Yield(), Sleep() and nanosleep() calls from RPC thread and will hopefully eliminate exess CPU usage on Fedora.

If the first request to !GetFreeDiskSpaceEx fails, then check for the parent directory, if that fails pass a NULL value which means check the default volume.
