There is wip-drmaa.

Set the GWL_USE_DRMAA variable and use the default execution 
engine.

I only tested this with a local Slurm cluster on my laptop, but it 
seems to work fine.  I’d be happy to hear test reports!

Before this can make its way into the main branch we have to 
figure out if the concept of an execution engine still makes sense 
the way it is implemented.
