As people have said on the list, client commands and the pbs_server will 
build nicely, though in 2.3.3, at least, there isn't a pbs_mom type for 
Windows.

This seems strange to me because Cluster Resources and others have 
claimed to be able to build hybrid clusters (or use Xen/VMWare to boot 
Windows on top of Linux). Now I assumed that was done by placing a 
pbs_mom on the Windows compute nodes, and thus allow them to be 
scheduled by Moab just like any other node. This of course would require 
a windows version of pbs_mom.

Perhaps though they have some other interface, that allows Moab to 
directly interface with something on the Windows Node.

In any case, considering pbs_mom doesn't build, I'd be curious how these 
hybrid clusters are getting scheduled.

In anybody on this list running a hybrid cluster?
