There are certainly ways we may be able to develop an extensible software architecture for which we can "define" new requirements for applications. Some sort of XML template definition(s) may assist in the process. [not sure how Joe L and other are doing it]
This is actually precisely what we do. We want to decouple definition of the application from the underlying queuing system (and operating system). This enables a number of rather nice things.
You can see some of the stuff we have done here (http://scalability.org/?p=422) and here (http://scalability.org/?p=425).
It ran its first (hard coded) job from web to cluster tuesday morning, and should be less hardcoded in the next week-ish. Would have liked to have shown it at SC, but this fell through (and a shameless plug for people needing a cluster/HPC demo there, feel free to ping me offline :) )
