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).
