1) I modified the launcher script so that if the user specifies a version
   number with a minor version number then it uses that specific version for
   all the components. Some examples:

      visit -v 2.7.1 uses version 2.7.1 for all the components. If running
      in client-server mode and version 2.7.1 doesn't exist on that machine
      then the launch will fail.

      visit -v 2.7 uses the latest version of the 2.7 series. The components
      will all use the same version on the same machine, but may use a
      different version on another machine when running in client-server
      mode.

   This resolves #1779.

2) I added some information about my previous commit of modifications to
   build_visit to use the equivalent of --svn-anon in the absence of any
   snv related flags when using the trunk version of build_visit.

I corrected a bug in my last change to the launcher script that caused the
running of mpeg2encode to fail because it now had a -forceversion argument
that it didn't understand. This really resolves #1779.
