If the number of platforms increases, compilation of source codes
on each platform is very difficult. So I am now using NIST PADE(this
tools can be acceced via PVM home page) parallel complie tools. 
And this is very helpful.
And we are now developing some tools for meta computing on heterogenous
network using NIST PADE.
In our tool, ep option and wd(this option is needed for startup
directory) option are automatically set, and we include
automatically creation of working directory and data directory
on each machines.
Sooner or later, we posted about our tools. If someone interested
in remote compile of source codes and execution on heterogeneous,
send mail to me.
