Testing the high-performance computing examples

[wlandau-lilly]

Drake has built-in examples that you can list with examples_drake() and write with example_drake(). Some of these may not work as-is, particularly the ones that require special difficult-to-install software like TORQUE. Here is where you can help. If you have access to the requisite high-performance computing systems, please help us test and fix the examples. You can share your suggestions on the issue tracker and submit bugfixes via pull request.

Many thanks to @kendonB for test-driving (#115) the SLURM example and working out several inefficiencies in drake itself (#121).

I confirmed that the SGE, Makefile, and basic examples work as expected, but I am struggling with the Docker and TORQUE ones. My TORQUE installation is mangled, and I am new to Docker.

I mostly kept this one open for #147. Since the rOpenSci reviews are underway and I have completed all the testing I can do myself, I am closing. Please submit a new issue or comment on this thread if something does not work for you.
