Thanks for reviewing.  How does this look?

Subject: [PATCH v5 1/1] Add macro for customizing an archive module WARNING
 message.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Presently, if an archive module's check_configured_cb callback
returns false, a generic WARNING about the archive module
misconfiguration is emitted, which unfortunately provides no
actionable details about the source of the miconfiguration.  This
commit introduces a macro that archive module authors can use to
add a DETAIL line to this WARNING.
