Other ways we could get info from the user:

 + Command line argument style

    * aeolus-configure --rhev-nfs example.org:/export/ovirtexport

   Long command lines aside, this would be beneficial for scripting.


 + Interactive command line style

     * What's the name of your oVirt/RHEV NFS server? [example.org]
     * What is the mount point for its export domain? [/export/ovirtexport]
       <etc>

   Good for newbies?


 + Web interface (not aeolus-configure based)

   (UX experts for this one :>)


From the Aeolus installer's (SysAdmin) perspective, the command line
style is good for scripting.  Whereas having everything configurable from
the web interface is more in line with our stated (UX friendly) end vision.

No idea how important fixing this stuff is though, in comparison to other
things.
