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.
