Description
#### Version information:
0.4.18-dev
#### Type:
feature
#### Description:
Currently, `core.NewNode` expects a repo. Technically, you can start a node with an in-memory repo but then there's no way (as far as I can tell) to *configure* the node as there's no editable config file. This makes it difficult to create a new, ephemeral, IPFS node on a custom port (simply using this constructor, that is).
