[Box Backup] version 0.06PLUS2

[Adrian]

Results of trying out the new version 0.06PLUS2:

1.  Compiles fine under Fedora.

2.  Client compiles fine under Cygwin.  Standalone version for windows can
be found here:
http://www.adventurehobbies.com/boxbackup/bbackup0.06PLUS2.040626.zip

3.  Ran "bbstoreaccounts check xxx fix" on all of my accounts. It reported
and fixed lots of size errors.  "bbackupquery" usage on one account showed
a change from 78% full to 52% full!

4.  "bbackupctl terminate" still waits for connection to finish before
killing bbackupd under Cygwin.

5.  I have not tried the new SyncAllow stuff because I don't really need it.

One suggestion for the next release:  When specifying a config file on the
command line, bbackupd, bbackupctl, and bbackupquery should be consistent
on the use of the -c flag.  Right now bbackupd does not allow -c but the
other two require it.  I think that bbackupd should at least allow it.

>
> * SyncAllowScript to allow temporary disabling of syncs (and
> bbackupd-config adds notes on how to use it to the config file it
writes)
> * Immediate and correct behaviour for bbackupd on signals (will restart
and stop immediately)
> * Add force-sync command to bbackupctl, like sync but ignores
> AllowSyncScript
> * Add --version option to all executables

> I'd like to release this (perhaps with slight modifications) as 0.07 --
a maintenance release to get better Linux compiler compatibility and to
fix the outstanding minor bugs.

> Feedback and testing appreciated. I'll be doing a full test myself over
the next few days.
