That's more helpful, but still not the optimum behaviour. By allowing the
server to starts on port Y you could well be disrupting another server
or service on the machine perpetuating the problem.

The correct behaviour, if a port has been explicitly requested, should be
to log the error and quit, that way the admin will know exactly what the
problem is and it wont affect other servers or services.

I just fixed this.  If the desired port isn't available you'll get a message 
like this:

WARNING: Port X was unavailable - bound to port Y instead.

This will go out in the next update.
