smurf.set_targets() only works on first call without reinitialization

If you set the target pysmurf-controllers via smurf.set_targets(), then want to change to a different controller that isn't in the list you set the first time it won't work. For example:

from sorunlib import *

initialize()  # creates CLIENT list with ['smurf1', 'smurf2'] in it
smurf.set_targets(['smurf1'])

# won't work
smurf.set_targets(['smurf2'])

This is because smurf.set_targets() merely selects items from the existing run.CLIENTS list. This means one has to re-initialize(). Perhaps smurf.set_targets() should re-build the run.CLIENTS list itself.

Since all initialize() does is to populate the client list, initialize is no longered needed, I guess

I don't think so, smurf.set_targets() will typically not be called at all, defaulting to using all available SMuRFs.

We still need to work out the details for how the SMuRF operations will be ordered (#54), but I don't expect to be constantly using smurf.set_targets() to select each slot.

I see, that makes sense!
