 An IPython cluster consists of 1 controller and 1 or more engines.
 This command automates the startup of these processes using a wide
 range of startup methods (SSH, local processes, PBS, mpiexec,
 Windows HPC Server 2008). To start a cluster with 4 engines on your
 local host simply do 'ipcluster start n=4'. For more complex usage
 you will typically do 'ipcluster create profile=mycluster', then edit
 configuration files, followed by 'ipcluster start profile=mycluster n=4'.
