Description

Currently we instruct the user to specify the cluster interface as part of build procedure (see INSTALL)
We can detect the interface automatically on some platforms
Linux
/sbin/ifconfig -a | grep ^e.* | head -1 | awk '

{print $1;}'
Solaris, FreeBsd (probably OSX)
/sbin/ifconfig -a | grep -v LOOPBACK | grep UP | head -1 | awk -F: '{print $1;}

'

Additional configure option (--with-cluster-interface=IFACE) can be added to explicitly
specify some other interface.
