[drmaa-wg] corrections to api specification

[Daniel Templeton]

Outstanding!  Just give me a couple of weeks to get the next version 
out.  We also should talk about what you mean by "implement," i.e. from 
scratch or only the SPI.  (The Java language binding is divided into two 
parts.  The API should only need to be implemented once.  The SPI needs 
to be implemented for every DRM.)

I agree fully with the local implementation idea.  It would be 
relatively easy to write some simple fork and exec version of the DRMAA 
functions.  I've thought about it often, but never had the time.
