error message improvements: noclobber

[Dan Jacobson]

# wwwoffle-ls outgoing|awk '/goog/{print $NF}'>/tmp/1
bash: /tmp/1: cannot overwrite existing file

well, ok, but how about saying
bash: /tmp/1: cannot overwrite existing file because you have set the noclobber 
option

I mean it would save a lot of headscratching.  I mean he might think
the remote file system's disk is improperly mounted, etc.

[Don't worry, we don't want too give away all the goods and take the
challenge of a learning experience with ..."try >|"   :-) ]
