Comment (by hinder):

 I think that SimFactory should not require the user to configure things
 which can be determined automatically.  If someone is running simfactory
 from a particular Cactus directory on Damiana, why can't simfactory use
 that directory to determine the sourcebasedir when building?

 The sourcebasedir machine entry should really only be used when
 determining the destination of a sync command (not the source), and should
 not be needed when building, running or submitting simulations locally
 (this implies that the source tree location should be a property of the
 simulation, not something read from the machine database).
