But you can still use 'fork' and mutliple processes, right? We used to 
use it 4 years ago without a problem in Ensembl....

I doubt it will work sensibly in the long term, I think it makes no 
sense to populate the servers with tons of MySQL databases to store 
multiple pipelines. And as I mentioned, I think we ought to have 
pipeline ids on the jobs, files, tables,etc.
