[Dart] Dashboard rollover times.

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

Should the "-" in the buildstamp name before the time only be in the 
directory structure or actual encoded buildstamp used throughout the 
system.  Not sure how this affects the server XSL scripts.

What will happen if a client does not update?  Will the build just
not get reported by the server or will the server crash?

It looks like the bottom line is that buildstamps are 
YYYYMMDDHHMM-[Nightly|Experimental|Continous]

So one change is that Experimentals are now labeled with "-Experimental"
and nightlies have the hour and minute encoded.

In general, I do not like forcing clients to update Dart.  However,
I don't want the code to be too complicated to support both the old
encoding and new encoding schemes.

Jim,

That shouldn't be too hard.  It just means a few of the offsets for time
lookups need to change.  I'll make the changes on the branch and see what
happens.

It seems to be working so far for Boost, but I haven't tried more than a
few builds.  Perhaps we should switch one of the other dashbords over to
it and see what happens.  Another problem is that both the server and
client have to switch over at the same time because the two encodings are
incompatible.  Actually, if we are breaking compatability anyway, we might
as well rip out the leftover code that supports the "old" style of nightly
build.  Ideas on this problem?
