Happily, the "develop" part of this is already done.  Have a look at 
GridEngine, Torque, slurm, and a number of others (commercial versions 
include the excellent LSF from Platform, PBSpro by Altair, and others).

This is wandering outside of the MD list focus.  You might want to speak 
with other folks on the Beowulf list, among others.

I should note that nothing you've brought up isn't a solvable problem. 
You simply have some additional data to gather on the apps, some costs 
to compare against the benefits they bring, and make decisions from 
there.  Build vs buy is one of the critical ones, but as Ed, myself and 
others have noted, you do need more detail to make sure you don't 
under(over) spec the design for the near/mid/far term.

Regards,

Joe
