DCWorkflow is configurable TTW.  It uses a state machine visualisation,
and provides some convenience methods and functions.  However, it uses
the same Interface (as in API, not user) as the older WorkflowTool. 
They both do the same thing.  It's just that with the older one, you
have to do it all on the filsystem in python.
