I would assume that not having a 'target create' line in a config  
would be sufficient to indicate no targets.  It just seems that 'init'  
checks that an interface and target are defined before succeeding.  If  
there isn't a technical reason for that, I'd like to change it so the  
daemon can start up with no interfaces or targets defined.  For future  
use, I could even see allowing multiple interfaces to be defined at  
one time.
