      This is exactly the though-train i am following now. The only one
      subsystem that I have identified so far, is the "Spatial Database" -
      and that could run on multiple components too. There was actualy
      quite a research in this area, although they would be not directly
      applicable to PWs. ("papers like: Performance of Data-Parallel
      Spatial Operations" etc.) There has even been research done for
      path-finding for distributed databases...
