[Box Backup-dev] Merging to trunk

[scott]

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately I am in Australia.

I will however be heading to England (London) on some personal stuff
sometime next year. I would really like to meet up with you and Ben.

Thanks.
Scott.

OK, implemented in chris/merge, should be in 0.11.

The NotifyScript is now called with "backup-start" and "backup-finish" at 
the start and (normal) termination of each run. If the run terminated 
abnormally, "backup-error" is called instead.

I wouldn't mind, where are you? I'm in Cambridge.

Cheers, Chris.
