When users designate a specific data directory and separate the executables 
from the data, it becomes unclear how to find the executables if they are not 
in the default locations.

I would like to find a reliable means of locating (on all supported platforms) 
the full path to the boinccmd executable from an application running in a slots 
directory. But I don't see any environment variables established at runtime 
that point back to the core client code path. Is there some reliable means of 
locating the proper path for boinccmd programmatically? 

...I should be more specific. I want to determine the path from the shell of 
the client machine, not in an application that is compiled with the BOINC APIs. 
So all I'll really have available is environment variables, or files up in the 
data directory. But I don't see any identications in either of where to find 
boinccmd (for the cases where it is not at the base of the data directory).

Running Microsoft's "System Idle Process" will never help cure cancer,

 AIDS nor Alzheimer's. But running rose...@home just might!
