This will work for the jobs/nodes within the DAG, but the  
condor_dagman process won't pick up these attributes from the job  
submit file.

I have both binaries, but I can't get condor_submit_dag to use the  
right one without errors.
I think there is a bug in one of them anyhow, because the -Dagman flag  
seems to cause problems with one and not the other...

A little more investigation will be needed, but i've already spent too  
much time on it.
