Does GNUmed create a reasonable config file if none is available ? I remember the gnumed.sh file I provide does copy the config file to a user's home dir. Maybe we should drop that. But in that case we need to make a user aware of the situation that he or she needs to provide a reasonable config file. This is unusual. I can't think of a program which does not run without a config file.
