Yeah, it doesn't make sense as a demo per se, but for the folks who only
have one system, to get it all going. Another motivition I thought was
to have 'something' as a worst-case fallback, e.g. with all the 'moving
pieces' Dave is worried about.
Actually, it could make a little bit of sense to have a single
nas-mediatomb-xxxclient image, pointing to each other on localhost, that
could be easily tweaked in the field and swapped in/out as any one of
the components - just a thought and probably not worth it at this point.
