Comment (by sbrandt):

 I've pushed an update to the branch that uses simenv.popen rather than
 subprocess. It seems to me that Simfactory was designed around the use of
 this function, and it doesn't make sense to do things differently in one
 place. If one wants to introduce subprocess, it should be implemented
 inside simenv.

 As for the wrangling over settings. Getting ppn and max-num-threads right
 is a win, IMHO, as having those wrong blocks you from doing parallel make,
 etc. I'm happy with num-threads being whatever.
