Lots of work on command line options and env vars. * All command line options use the -f, --foo, --no-foo style. * We are not using ipython_dir (code), --ipython-dir (command line) and IPYTHON_DIR (env).

.SH DESCRIPTION
ipcluster is a control tool for IPython's parallel computing functions.
IPython cluster startup. This starts a controller and engines using various
approaches. Use the IPYTHON_DIR environment variable to change your IPython
directory from the default of .ipython or _ipython. The log and security
subdirectories of your IPython directory will be used by this script for log
files and security files.
.SH POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
The first positional argument should be one of: {mpiexec, local, mpirun, pbs,
ssh}, which are the available cluster types.
For detailed help on each, type "ipcluster TYPE --help". Briefly:
local run a local cluster
mpirun run a cluster using mpirun (mpiexec also works)
mpiexec run a cluster using mpiexec (mpirun also works)
pbs run a pbs cluster
ssh run a cluster using ssh, should have ssh-keys setup
