What's wrong with having the ad-hoc supervisor spawn something on the  
remote node, e.g.

init([]) ->
     {ok,
      {_SupFlags = {simple_one_for_one, 1, ?MAX_TIME},
       [
        {undefined,
         {proc_lib, spawn, []},
         temporary,
         2000,
         worker,
         []
        }
       ]
      }
     }.

Wouldn't this be added to the local supervision tree?

	Thanks, Joel
