AUTO DETECTION

       The  server  will be auto located if no server name is given.  First it will look for the environment variable $ROAR_SERVER.  If this vari-
       able is non existing libmuroar will do the auto location based on a list of possible server locations.  This list contains the global  UNIX
       socket address, the user's private socket address and an entry for localhost using TCP/IP.

       The UNIX socket addresses are only compiled in if UNIX socket support is detected.
