[torqueusers] qsub patch for job script arguments.

[Roy Dragseth]

I just discovered the -F option implemented in v3.0.2 and thought it was a 
very nice idea.  Soon I discovered the awkwardness imposed by the need for 
quotes around the argument.  In my experience it is very hard to explain to 
users the difference between single and double quotes and so on.  Maybe a 
better way to solve this is to make everything between a "--" flag and end of 
line become job script arguments.  This is the way getopt suggests to do these 
kind of things.  

Attached is a patch that implements the idea above.

qsub run.sh -- arg1 arg2

will start

run.sh arg1 arg2

The equivalent would be 

qsub -F"arg1 arg2" run.sh

but no need for quotes.

 Anyway, just a suggestion.

Regards,
r.
