It seems that it is possible to keep the current behavior for those that want 
to customize the configuration of Modules/Setup.dist (knowing that they can 
just use Modules/Setup.local if they are only doing additions to the Setup 
configuration) and at the same time get rid of these warnings for those that 
never change Modules/Setup.dist. This could be done this way:

* 'configure' does not create anymore Modules/Setup.
* The 'Makefile' target of the Makefile uses now Modules/Setup.dist when 
Modules/Setup is missing.
* A developer that wants to customize Modules/Setup.dist needs to copy (only 
once) manually Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup and to modify this last file 
accordingly. She/he gets then the same warnings as those that are occuring 
currently and in that case it is useful to have the build abort upon such 
warnings as proposed in the current issue.

If this proposal is acceptable then it should be implemented in another issue, 
I think.
