Added a pipe from the generator to the receiver that communicates
what basis file we used to generate the file data (if it was not
the default name).  This optimizes away the basis-file search in
the receiver and makes future options that do more basis-file
searching more efficient (such as the --fuzzy option and the
support for multiple --compare-dest options).

You must run "make proto" before compiling.
