It's woproject that will need to be changed since it's woproject job to create
the launch scripts. So we have to decide if any applications build by woproject
should have the ipconfig call or it's only for wotaskd and Monitor. I think it
should be for all applications, because if someone is launching a WO app
without wotaskd at startup (for example, a product build and sold as a .woa),
having the call would be useful.
