Todd, I agree. Have the warning only where it matters (but have it there).

config file not found


The parameters in the configuration file, in general, apply only to certificate 
operations. The openssl application does way more than certificate operations, 
and seeing a warning for a configuration file that has no impact on the 
operation being performed is annoying. Rather than completely remove the 
warning, I would instead suggest that the warning only be issued for certain 
commands that may use parameters from the configuration file.

it's darn useful for me to be informed of that fact by openssl.

Because it goes ahead and proceeds. Not it is explicit testing ENOTFOUND.
It should either error+exit or not complain.

I can be convinced the current behavior is useful.
