[Moabusers] software license management

[Steven A. DuChene]

We have users doing this on a regular basis. The syntax they are using is:

qsub -l nodes=$_RUN_NODES:ppn=2,walltime=$_RUN_TIME:00:00 -W x=GRES:fluent+$_SERPROC,fluent-par+$_PARPROC some_fluent_batch_job_script

This is a snipet from a larger script, thus the $variables
