Hi Greg, 
Galaxy makes the tools more accessible by allowing web access to those tools, it automatically handles job submission and management, as well as allows simpler integration with other tools to form complex analyses.

My End Goal:

So I want to install a bioinformatics program* (and it's dependencies
e.g., R, samtools, biopython, etc) that will use SGE provided by
CloudMan.
Then once everything is configured and installed, I want to share it
with other researchers.

For what it's worth, including Galaxy might make this all a little bit more accessible.  That said, this should definitely work in the barebones scenario you're suggesting.

I'm curious, how would Galaxy make this more accessible?  That might be worth looking into.
