 Suggestions for Preben:
 - Look at adding Client run command that will use the
   port opened by the client.
-- Implement WildFile and WildDir to solve problem of 
-  saving only *.doc files.
-- Bootstrap from JobMedia records.
 - Optimized bootstrap.
 
 Autochangers:
-- Locking (done)
-- Key on Storage rather than Pool (done)
-- Allow multiple drives to use same Pool
-- Synchronize multiple drives so that no more
-  than one loads a tape and any time.

+- 7. Implement new Console commands to allow offlining/reserving drives,
+     and possibly manipulating the autochanger (much asked for).
