This patch adds another wart to the resource broker ;-)
But it may actually help the people who need this advanced 
feature and know what they are doing.
I have thought about putting something like this in but was
discouraged when I saw users trying out every single option
and then complaining that it didn't work.

I would rather go with something 'automatic'. This would be
a resource broker outside of X.

Still I'm inclined to adding something like this to the code
however I'm reluctant to document it so well ;-)
