Thanks, Mike!
One thing I just noticed is that the help/usage on `bin/accumulo` doesn't
work without the configuration files. I un-tar'ed the bin tarball and test out
this command, but, having the short-term memory of a goldfish, I forgot the
usage, so I just ran:
`./bin/accumulo` and got the following:
```
[accumulo@jelser-accumulo-scripts-1 accumulo-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT]$ ./bin/accumulo
The configuration files 'accumulo-env.sh' & 'accumulo-site.xml' must exist
in /home/accumulo/foo/accumulo-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/conf
Run 'accumulo create-config' to create them or copy them from
/home/accumulo/foo/accumulo-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/conf/examples
Follow the instructions in INSTALL.md to edit them for your environment.
```
Granted, this does tell me what I need to do, but should the usage still be
printed? Is the lack of configuration an extraordinary case in which the normal
usage shouldn't be printed?
