[DRMAA-WG] other IDL issues

Hi all,

I've following findings:

* MUTLITHREADING safety should be a capabilty since it is implementation specific. Also 
  source code portability requires it.

* latex format error in line 364

* 1511: getAllReservations(): "This method returns the list of all DRMS advance reservations 
  accessible for the user running the DRMAA-based application."

  Please make clear that "accessible" does not necessarly mean "usable". Maybe "visible" 
  is a better wording.
  
* ReservationTemplate(): maxSlots is only supportable with PEs (parallel environments). 
  Same for jobs, they need a PE in order to request more than 1 slot. While in the JobTemplate 
  this is made *very* explicit, that one might need request a job category this is not mentioned 
  in the ReservationTemplate. Therefore I propose to add 
      
      string JobCategory;
      
  in the ReservationTemplate in order to be consistent with the multiple slots request 
  approach. The JobCategory in the spec could be renamed to Category if needed.

  Anyhow it would be good to add multiple category strings - but this is going to be an 
  implementation specific enhancement if needed.
  
Cheers,

Daniel
