 Hard:
+ * Add support for MPI-type applications: try to schedule all the jobs in a batch more or less simultaneously.  May require:
+  * NCPUs jobs per host
+  * Notion of "infinite priority" (start right away).  May suffice to have zero delay bound.
+  * feeder orders by batch
  * Implement a mechanism so that server software detects incompatible database format.

  * ?? how to select an app version based on contents of app_info?
