 At a simfactory call it should be possible to define a value of a variable
 by setting

 --define VAR=NEWVALUE

 Them the variable @VAR@ in a run- or submitscript should be expanded to
 NEWVALUE.

 Using define a shown above leads to the error:

 [snip]
 sim.py: error: --define option requires 2 arguments
 [snip]

 So I have tried also

 --define VAR NEWVALUE

 Using this --define in this way, the submission is successful, however
 @VAR@ is never evaluated by simfactory, so in the submit- and runscript
 @VAR@ instead of NEWVALUE can still be found.
