Nimrod had a pilot-based framework when I visited them at the end of 2009.

I presume that it is used in the /G portion of nimrod (a grid environment 
is one of the places it makes the most sense, I think), but I don't 
remember really.

They were grumbling about how hard it was to make one that works right, 
and seemed fairly pleased that everyone has that trouble ;) (and also 
interested in seeing if they could use something else - falkon at the time 
- in order to avoid putting themselves to the trouble)
