[PATCH] Configure to say how to make Configuration
As discussed, here's a patch to Configure to make it tell the user
what to do if there's no Configuration file. (If the user specified
a "-file" argument, no such message is displayed - the assumption is
that the user knows what it's doing.)

You need to be clear what you are proposing. Are you just suggesting
that, if someone should remove the Configuration file for some reason, it
print the below message? Or are you also proposing that for some reason,
we stop the accepted practice of copying Configuration.tmpl to
Configuration in releases?
