A customer just pointed out the awkwardness of the drmaa_control() 
operation.  As a rule, I don't like operations whose behavior is 
controlled by a flag.  It's generally easier to learn and easier to read 
is the name of the operation is descriptive of exactly what it does.  
What would people think of replacing the drmaa_control() operation with 
drmaa_suspend_job(), drmaa_release_job(), drmaa_hold_job(), 
drmaa_resume_job(), and drmaa_terminate_job() operations.  I don't see 
the downside, myself.
