I agree that it's useful to add such a command, but this is a poor
implementation because it still tries to connect to the database.  For
example, on my machine here:

    blp@sigabrt:~/nicira/ovs/_build(0)$ utilities/ovs-vsctl help
    ovs-vsctl: unix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock: database connection failed 
(No such file or directory)
    blp@sigabrt:~/nicira/ovs/_build(1)$ 

Not very helpful!
