Done.  If you have a ~/.jackdrc jack.el will parse it and use it
for startup.  You might want to add -v to your ~/.jackdrc then since
jack.el makes use of the continuus output to do realtime load display.
If you set `jack-use-jack-rc' to nil, jack.el will not attempt to use your
~/.jackdrc and do some (pretty crude yet) magic to construct proper args
based on your jack.el variable settings.
