Comment:

 What we should do (after the ET_2013_11 release) is:
 - When a testsuite doesn't specify a certain number of processes, run it
 with however many have been
   specified as default (and if nothing was specified there, use some
 reasonable default which at the moment is 2)
 - When a testsuite does specify a particular number of processes, use this
 number. In particular (at least for the moment) also use more than had
 been specified as default. Since currently we don't have testsuites with a
 large number of processes this is hopefully fine on most machines. We
 might have to change this though if we encounter too many problems or turn
 towards testsuites with too many processes such that single-processor
 systems would be unreasonably overloaded. What we likely would do then is
 using the specified default as upper bound. Testsuites that specify more
 resources wouldn't be run in that case.
