Would it be possible to have some kind of flag that turns this on or
off? For a variety of reasons I've been working with the same software
in a bunch of different environments that are similar (but just
different enough) that I found it useful to make the parts that deal
with the cluster sort of configurable... I don't know the architecture
of moses-parallel.pl at all, so I can only guess whether this makes
sense or not.
