Patch for adding CR_CORE_DEFAULT_DIST_BLOCK as a select option to layout jobs using block layout across cores within each node instead of cyclic which was previously the default.

    (currrently in the contribs directory, but plan to distribute through
    http://code.google.com/p/slurm-spank-plugins/).

The Priority/mulitfactor plugin now takes into consideration size of job in cpus as well as size in nodes when looking at the job size factor.  Previously only nodes were considered.

    Useful for batch jobs (in Prolog or the script) if powering down idle nodes.

    wait for all allocated nodes to power up before proceeding. Salloc will
    log the delay with the messages "Waiting for nodes to boot" and "Nodes are
    ready for use". Srun will generate the same messages only if the --verbose
    option is used.

sview - there is now a .slurm/sviewrc created when runnning sview.  Defaults are put in there as to how sview looks when first launched.  You can set these by Ctrl-S or Options->Set Default Settings.

Fixed a couple of problems for NO_CONF_HASH too (bits were 0x12, changed
to 0x20, added documentation to slurm.conf man page, and add logging for
scontrol show config).

    problem.

  populate it with configuration information passed up from the slurmd
  at registration time.

     manage generic resources.

Added ability to view/modify a job's gres using scontrol.

    - Added node configuration parameter of Gres=.
    - Added ability to view/modify gres using scontrol and sview.

    -S <sort_list> specifications

Forward step failure reason back to slurmd before in some cases it would just be SLURM_FAILURE returned.
