Failing any response from the original poster, I made a few phone calls
and determined that while Platform did indeed discard NPi, they have not
announced any effort to support DRMAA (nor did the couple of folks I
spoke with know of any such effort under consideration). 

Perhaps that's a shame as it'd be nice to be able to integrate with one
interface and have a selection of DRM packages to choose from ... but
then, I suspect that an easy bidirectional migration path doesn't top
the list of any software vendor, proprietary or otherwise.

A pity, that.

Cheers!
