Comment (by knarf):

 That would be nice indeed. However, it would require a bit of
 infrastructure, especially on simfactory scripts. One issue with a 'split'
 executable would be that all libraries would need to be accessible on the
 compute nodes, so simfactory would need to copy them into the job
 directories and use these (also for consistency reasons). In addition, for
 startup of large jobs it is usually good to "pre-load" the executable into
 memory before starting the job. This would also need to be done for all
 libraries, which isn't that difficult but would need to be done.

 We should have at least the library-copy in place before we enable this.
 There might be other issues as well, but I cannot think of something else
 right now.
