Optional command line onfiguration URL for Chainsaw

[Paul Smith <ps...@aconex.com>]

I'm considering adding a dependency to Commons-cli to allow Chainsaw  
start script to have some startup options, the driving force being to  
allow one to configure a Receiver configuration file to pass to it.   
This would mean one could configure an automatic URL via the  
preferences as we can do now, but allow a specific one to be chosen to  
replace it on the command line.

This could be further extended to allow basic "adhoc" receiver  
startups.  So I'm proposing something like:

-c <path to configuration file>

or

-s <host:port>,<host:port>,... -- Start SocketReceiver connected to  
listed hosts:ports (default port could be assumed)
-h <host:port>,<host:port>,... -- Start SocketHubReceiver ....

These would fill my direct needs.  Scott, you may have some  
suggestions for logical arguments for the other Receivers?

cheers,

Paul
