I've learned to ignore this, but FWIW I would also like to see this
warning removed in this case.
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.
