  def caveats; <<-EOS
Mac OS X has only 16K ports available that won't be released until socket
TIME_WAIT is passed. The default timeout for TIME_WAIT is 15 seconds. Consider
reducing in case of available port bottleneck. You can check whether tis is a
problem with netstat.

    $ sysctl net.inet.tcp.msl
    net.inet.tcp.msl: 15000
    $ sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.msl=1000
    net.inet.tcp.msl: 15000 -> 1000

Run siege.config to create the ~/.siegerc config file.
