Tight SGE integration with Solaris Zones

DanT has pushed out version 1.0 of a new project at within the HPC Community over at OpenSolaris.org.

From the announcement ...

"Project Berlin is an attempt to integrate Grid Engine with Solaris Zones in a tight fashion...without making changes to the Grid Engine binaries themselves...The basic idea is that instead of having the execution daemon fork and exec a shepherd process, we replace the shepherd process with a proto-shepherd. The proto-shepherd attempts to determine in which Zone the job should run. If no Zone can be determined, the proto-shepherd simply execs the shepherd, and things work normally.
