[Tilesathome] New features of the t at h client

Since there has been some time since I last updated what went on coding
the client I'll do a new update about what has happened recently in
client development.
I'm not going to catch up every change since my last update on the
topic, just what I can think of that might be of interest. For detail
check the trac svn history of the client[1]

The current version is revision 6022, still called "Oslo"

It supports uploads to a directory (check sample config) instead to the
server. This is intended for multiple clients that run on one or more
computers connected via LAN or similar where only one t at h process gets
charged with the upload to the world. If you run multiple clients on one
host be sure to give each instance it's own working directory!

Secondly a delay has been introduced. A failed API connection results in
  a delay of 60 seconds, a second failure in 240 seconds and
exponentially growing to just over one hour (to a total delay of about
1:30 hours or something) The delay will be tweaked based upon future
experience.
(Thanks go to "Milenko" for the patch used as a basis for this behaviour)

Also the client now prints a warning in xy mode if the zoom level has
been omitted.
