new Folding@home package; please review
The new Folding@home packages are ready! And they've got some great
new features and highly demanded changes:
* Package renamed to "fahclient-installer" (henceforth,
"outer package")
* Actual client software package now named "fahclient"
("inner package")
* Outer package ships with "fahclient-build", a script to download
and build the inner package.
* Full man pages. Folding@home documentation has been blessed by
Vijay Pande himself!
* Sophisticated "attempt automatic download only if online" code in
postinst simulates BSD routing in pure POSIX shell and GNU grep!
* Inner package Build-Depends on outer package.
* Outer package depends on the union of inner packages' Build-Deps
and Depends (minus itself).
* No longer clobbers client.cfg on upgrade.

Actually, writing one package to build another is a lot harder than it
sounds at first. I'm not one half as confident in the correctness of
this package as I was of my first submission. That said, I'd really
appreciate some pointers on what I could do better.
