[torqueusers] Evaluating DRMAA + Torque

[Joshua Bernstein]

Hi Darren,

	While I haven't used DRMAA with TORQUE directly, my understanding of 
DRMAA is that it is still in its infancy. Though my other limited 
experience with DRMAA has shown that it provides a nice abstracting 
between your software and a scheduler, a layer of portability if you well.
	Though that said, different DRMAA layers are at different states of 
maturity, so some have different gotchas here there.
