As a mvn/py client I would like to specify the "profile" in flies.ini, so that I can use whatever server and project I want to, without typing all required argument.

User story: As a mvn/py client I would like to specify the "profile" in 
flies.ini, so that I can use whatever server and project I want to, without 
typing all required argument.

flies.ini looks like following:

[servers]
local.url = http://localhost:8080/flies/
local.username = admin
local.key = 89374905823750973249502873490888

hudson.url = http://hudson.englab.bne.redhat.com/flies/
hudson.username = bob
hudson.key = 21654321651303467618640511051515

jboss.url = https://translate.jboss.org/
jboss.username = robert
jboss.key =  13246817676681768761687196246543

===============
Intuitively, it looks like we can use the profile name (the name in front of . 
) to specify the arguments.

The use cases are create projects and versions before cloning the translation 
projects.

As long as the user specifies the server URL, the client will get the 
corresponding username and key from flies.ini.  But I agree that it would be 
more usable if the client could say:

$ flies user create --server jboss
 or
$ mvn flies:putuser -Dflies.server=jboss

I think this will be less important if we fix issue 252.
