crontab solution (It's one line):

@reboot         start-stop-daemon --start --chdir $HOME/.boinc --quiet
--background --exec $HOME/.boinc/boinc

either rename boinc-verylongnamethatchangeseveryrelease to boinc or make
a symlink.

This crontab could be extended with pidfile support and changing the
crontab to run every few hours so it restarts boinc if it has died, but
I like it as is.
