Comment (by eschnett):

 I want a parameter parser so that I know the parameters and their values,
 given a parameter file.

 I assume that using the Cactus executable may work. It's a bit clunky to
 use (since it may be much larger than a utility) and/or may require
 mpirun, but this can be dealt with. (We can either have a "runcactus"
 script that remembers which mpirun to use, or can use Simfactory's "sim
 run" command, or use a similar solution.) I also don't like that this may
 require going through a queuing system when cross-compiling, but in this
 case, I would assume that one can instead hopefully use an identical
 source tree on a different machine.
