Makeflow is cool -- it is on top of my list of things to package for
Debian (all of the cctools, actually). However, even a Makefile would
probably require all job dependencies being known at submission time of
the first task, right?
Anyway, since makeflow already abstracts SGE and Condor, it might be a
good candidate for an abstraction layer -- i will look into this more
closely.
