I doubt it's nearly as complicated as you claim.  All you have to do is
tell the system to envoke a set of jobs which is a fairly straight
forward thing to do (it's not much harder then envoking rsh and you
could easily write a simple wrapper that provided rsh symantics if it
doesn't exist already.)

If someone adds it, that would be cool, I just think a better solution
isn't likely to be all that difficult.
