Hello Idan,

well, you usually do that by simply using "subprocess" as in

```ruby
  Ruote.define do
    subprocess 'do_that_other_thing'
  end
```

No, there is currently no way to pass an existing Ruote::HashStorage. If you
need that, I can add it to master.

Another way, though:

you can set :engine to nil and that'll run the subprocess locally:

```ruby
  Ruote.define do
    subprocess 'do_this_other_thing', :engine => 'engine_x'
    subprocess 'do_that_other_thing', :engine => nil
  end
```

which is equivalent to:

```ruby
  Ruote.define do
    do_this_other_thing :engine => 'engine_x'
    do_that_other_thing :engine => nil
  end
```

which is equivalent to:

```ruby
  Ruote.define do
    do_this_other_thing :engine => 'engine_x'
    do_that_other_thing
  end
```

Perhaps you prefer to use:

```ruby
  Ruote.define do
    engine_x :pdef => 'do_this_other_thing'
    engine_self :pdef => 'do_that_other_thing'
  end
```

In that case, tell me and I'll add a way to pass an existing storage when
registering an engine participant.


Kind regards,
