A nailgun client should note that no server is running and start one
rather than just failing.  That fits better with the command-line tools
ecology, where (as I said) you don't want to have to know if a
tool is in JRuby or not.

Indeed, particularly since the server will tend to stay paged out if there is
memory pressure and you aren't using any JRuby commands, so the cost
of running it but not using it is small.
