Comment (by rhaas):

 I agree that the SubmitScript/RunScript separation is artificial (and
 unusual). I am not sure though if I would really like to have them folded
 into a large set of options inside of the machine database. The current
 setup has (I believe) that advantage that the SubmitScript/RunScript is
 recognizably a qsub script for which one can usually find examples and
 documentation on new clusters. Having to learn a whole new syntax of
 option to encode this information into simfactory would seem quite a bit
 of extra complication unless the benefits are large. With Cactus' option
 files this might be less of a problem. The only change would be that the
 boundary between simfactory and the low-level Cactus build system blurs
 (which might actually be what one wants).
