The proposal is to download missing files only at startup or when new tasks
arrive needing the file, and ONLY do so if there is work that needs the
file. i.e. at startup, if there is a missing file, and no work for that
file, do nothing.

Re: [boinc_dev] Why did BOINC
contact Prime Grid, and Why did it
DL execuatables
I'm not sure this will solve the problem.
Seems to me the client will go into this loop:
1) get a job from the server
2) download the executable
3) anti-virus program deletes the executable
4) job bombs out because executable missing
5) go to 1
As of right now, as far as I've heard,
the client re-downloads the executable only on startup.
That's better than the above.
It's not clear to me what the solution is,
or if we really need to do anything.
Suggestions welcome.
