Description

In all private clouds, the user needs to supply the cloud endpoint url to connect to. Currently, Whirr has no means to supply this, outside diverting to jclouds-specific property "jclouds.endpoint" or "providername.endpoint"

The impact is that the CLI and other tools neither document, nor make easy supplying this. For example, a user should intuitively be able to supply --endpoint http://keystonehost/v2.0/ for openstack, but right now, it is essentially a secret!
