In the future we hope to have shovels that can be dynamically
reconfigured at run time; I don't consider permanency to be an
inherent feature of shovels. And being able to spin up a quick
shovel to move messages from one queue to another within the same
broker is a use case for that.

However, "permanent" shovels are all we've got at the moment. But
bear in mind the shovel doesn't need to be in the same broker as
the queues - you could spin up an ad hoc broker node on the same
machine with whatever shovels you need, then shut it down when
you're done.

I don't know offhand how to start a brand new broker node. Is this
something that will be obvious if i read the documentation, or is
there any trick to it? Will there be any surprises if we do this on
the same machine as a running node?<br>
