[gin-jobs] Standarized Execution Environment

[Thomas Soddemann]

Hi Steven,

you are absolutely right. The intention is to gather information on how
things are handled in the different Grid project in order to have a
solid foundation for a discussion on if we want to propose a common set
of environment variables from a GIN perspective and if so, what it
should be. If you feel that this is not reflected by the text in the
Wiki let us know or just update it.

Currently, in DEISA we have only UNIX like operating system where
modules work (including Catamount). If we had to integrate e.g. Windows
Compute Cluster, we would have to rethink this policy.

Cheers,
Thomas
