Eventually, it could be possible add just few lines as example in DESC:

$ croc send foobar
Sending 'foobar' (6.6 MB)
Code is: 1767-cubic-ringo-source
On the other computer run

croc 1767-cubic-ringo-source

I don't have strong opinion about it. I am fine without it, but if you
expect users to want to setup a local relay, it might be preferable (as
it will be properly configured at first).

Outside of that, I am fine with it. ok semarie@
