[gin-jobs] Standarized Execution Environment

[Laurence Field]

Hi,

One of the problems that we found during the interoperation activities 
was with the different environments found on the worker nodes in the 
different grids.  Getting the jobs to arrive on the worker node is one 
problem, ensuring that the jobs run correctly is another and this 
problem has mainly been overlooked.  During the joint operations 
workshop in Bologna between OSG and EGEE this problem was brought up and 
discussed. The result was the following document which suggests 
standardizing the execution environment.

I have already scheduled a BOF at OGF 20 to discuss this issue further.

Feedback on this topic is more than welcome.
