My guess is that this was somehow related to the testing labs at Cygnus 
long ago, but I will consider this change for 1.7 and will probably do 
it if I do not find a reason to keep the warning.

Testing environments are probably more standardized now than they were 
then, so I am less sure if a warning about not loading a global 
configuration file is still useful.  There will certainly still be at 
least a verbose-1 message about using a global configuration file or 
using none, and a configuration file could still emit its own messages.
