- Added support for SMP systems to etc/rc.d/setiathome.sh
- Added etc/setiathome.conf with options to set the nice level, the max. number of processes to run, the working directory, and the the user id to run as. - setiathome.1 was missing from Makefile (and +CONTENTS subsequently) - Updated the man page to reflect the changes.
