This is the entire idea behind BLAH : CREAM only talks to BLAH, and BLAH has a different back-end for each batch system. That is the theory and when I last looked at it in detail many years ago (testing one of the original implementations of BLAH) it looked pretty good. I don't know if it is still the case or whether it is well documented.
