ComputeClientExtras.mesa
The Compute Client interface. This interface is between the Client (the rest of the Cedar world) and the Client code for the Summoner on the workstation, and thus is not an RPC interface. It is a variant of the ComputeServerClient.mesa interface, but is faster since it avoids one level of procedure call.

Identical to ComputeServerClient.StartService, except that the serverName argument is added.
If "serverName" is non-NIL, then the server is contracted directly, bypassing the Controller. Servers may be specified by their name (e.g., "Bataan") or by their network address (e.g., "3#277#").
