If someone wants highly-available PVM on a cluster, discussion would
be needed. Standard PVM doesn't do that. I know Condor has the ability
to migrate PVM processes intelligently, but not failover.

It's when you want to extend something that does one thing well, like
PVM does parallel computations well, you run into more general cluster
issues.
