Re: [boinc_dev] [boinc_alpha] Possible bug concerning cc_config.xml

Charlie, we probably need to do a systematic check that the terminology is 
consistent throughout.

You committed most of the intel (or intel_gpu) code in a 'first pass' on Dec 5, 
2012: Rom changed a large number of instances when hooking it up to the server 
on Dec 8, 2012, but I'm guessing this one got missed.
