No, it can't. It would require additional code to ask for
server, port, database name in the absence of a profile. But
we might put that before the actual login dialog ...

for the time being it should just copy it from doc/gnumed/example/...

I am uneasy about building in support for a "default" EMR
server. You don't want to automatically point people to
someone's EMR. We could point it to the public server,
though. Which is liable to change every now and then. Which
