OS X: Project client should be on par with the CPU type

[thanar]

This has been noticed on Mac users migrating to Intel Macs using OS X's migration assistant. Migration Assistant moves the whole user Library folder onto the new Mac, hence BOINC Data folder, if it was in the user's Library folder. Although I think BOINC creates its folder under /Library, I heard of cases where Mac Pro users ended up running SETI through Rosetta! Check ​this thread for example.

Thus, I believe that BM should pop a message under such cases. I should add that if the default location for BOINC Data files is indeed /Library, then this ticket should be considered obsolete.

Yes, the default location is /Library/BOINC Data/. Also, BOINC does not change applications in the middle of processing a work unit (task) as that might invalidate the results. Once BOINC fetches new work units, it should also get the Intel version of the application.
