Description

Adding nodes to a cluster fails if the node names (the `name` of `name@hostname` in vm.args) is different from "couchdb". The code currently infers this name from the port: "node1" if 15984, "node2" if 25984, "node3" if 35984, "couchdb" otherwise. No other possibility.

This is not suited for a production set-up, where multiple servers could have different names.
