Probably useful for a lot of simple uses. Some CMS might ship Varnish as
part of it and there won't a need for CLI.

I really like this one. If we could have an option to let Varnish start
without the cache running (like -d) one could picture some sort of service
accepting connections from newly started varnishd servers. The service would
then configure the caches, provision them with VCL and start them up. The
need for messing around with having shell and config files on the
caches disappears.
