Description
Many functions in engine.h are declared to return a pointer when returning a bool would
be better, e.g.:
```
Computation /* or null */*
rawStartComputation(Computation *C)
```
Let's make them all return bool. The point is that it makes the code in interface.dd counterintuitive, for the interface routine ends up with two pointers to the same thing.
