Doing it at the client conf was nacked by abartlet b/c it taints the 
client conf. I suppose we can add yet another conf option. Thing is, we 
need conf per test, and I wouldn't hard-code test-specific stuff in this 
area of the code.

To be more exact, we need a separate conf, and separate place for tdb's, 
but the socket wrapper stuff can use same channels as the client option. 
Therefore I figured we can use the client conf as a template and create 
a new temporary conf that will not conflict with other envs or confs.

What do you think?
Uri.
