There is a need for a plug-in interface that allows jobs be verified/modified in
accordance with site-specific needs:

- idea is to implement a general purpose shared library plug-in interface
- the plug-in would facilitate customized job verification/modification
- SGE would however contain only a plug-in that forks/execs/waits a script-based
plug-in
- the need for the superior (performance) shared library general purpose plug-in
interface  exists actually only for sites where raw masses of jobs float through
SGE every day
- for load-balancing a qsub/qrsh/qsh/qlogin/qmon plug-in were ideal
- for maximum of control a qmaster plug-in were ideal
- contradicting objectives (load-balancing vs. maximum of control) suggest both
qmaster and qsub/qrsh/qsh/qlogin/qmon should get a plug-in interface
- must prevent qalter can be used to bypass policy implemented via plug-ins

submission verifier)

Script based solution is implemented and feature will be available with 6.2u2.
If performace of this solution becomes an issue we might also add support for
shared libraray JSVs easyly.
