Subject: [PATCH] Add note about developing on a production machine
This is the bit of documentation missing for issue 170. Doing
development on a machine which already has Ganeti installed kind of
works, but only when the installed and the developed version are very
similar, and even then it can be problematic.

+(see Issue 170 for a bit of history/details; in general it works if

+recommended to use a "clean" machine for ganeti development.
