I don't know "adexl" - is there an option to specify any arbitrary command line 
option to the `qsub` command - how is this defined?

- you could use a wrapper to `qsub`
- you could use a JSV, which whenever a queue is selected (how do you do this 
right now?), the checkpoint environment is requested too
- you could use a default options file for jobs submitted form a certain 
directory (`man qsub` => "ge_request", actually it's ".sge_request" for the 
users' files besides the system wide global "sge_request" one)

The definition in the queue makes the checkpoint environment only available to 
the queue, but you can also submit jobs to the queue without requesting the 
checkpoint environment. A forced checkpoint environment does not exist (sure, 
this could be an RFE - but making the calendar complex forced is not working in 
the way I expected too).

BTW: When you use the checkpoint environment, maybe you don't need any means 
any longer to select a particular queue, as the checkpoint environment is 
attached to the queue only where it should run anyway.
