Let BOINC Installer make the BOINC directory

[Ageless]

At this moment the installer says "Install BOINC to?" and gives you a path with the directory name BOINC in it already. Technically, if the path given is C:\BOINC\, it would be installed to C:\BOINC\BOINC .. but let's not dwell there.

Now there are some people, on Vista mostly, who move away from the default install directory of C:\Program Files\BOINC and just install BOINC to C:\ as they think that the installer makes the BOINC directory by itself. Perhaps it is an idea to have the installer check if the path is just the root of the disk and then add \BOINC\ to it automatically.

So if someone says to install BOINC to C:\ that it gets to be installed in C:\BOINC Same thing for the BOINC Data directory of course.

This would violate the general guidelines for installers, which in turns means a lot of hacks to make things work that way.
