Comment:

 I'd like to get rid of these files, because when I want to edit
 `tahoe.cfg`, I type "ta TAB", but my editor/shell won't fully complete for
 me, because `tahoe-client.tac` shares a prefix. A minor reason, I'll admit
 :).

 The question is what signal should indicate the node type? I think the
 main question is client/server vs introducer, and the presence of a
 `[client]` section in `tahoe.cfg` is a good indicator (perhaps look for
 either `[client]` or `[storage]`, to accomodate future server-only no-
 client nodes, which would have `[storage]` but not `[client]`).
