I didn't even think of that (I have implemented this in trunk, see my
previous response sent to the userlist as well).  I think torque.cfg needs
to be better documented - as far as I know there is no documentation about
torque.cfg outside of a wiki page at CRI that is probably not updated.

Where should this be documented?  In a README? INSTALL ? existing manpage?
new manpage?
