[saga-rg] ISSUE 132

[Andre Merzky]

  132) when do we refer to target host name, and when to resource manager
       contact, on job submit/description?  Se mail thread with
       Graeme/Chris "JobService.submitJob() query"
       - OPEN, URGENT

I propose to go with Grames proposal unless there are
opinions to do differently.  I like the version to redefine
the host arg better than to remove it altogether.

Other opinions?

Thanks, Andre.
