Interesting.  I think that you are right.  However, I will defer to Tom
on this.  I am not sure if there is a reason for the usage messages to
be specified the way that they are.  Tom, if you end up deciding to
change this, please let me know and I will make the change in 3.4 and/or
3.2.

This is corrected in the 3.4 and 4.0 branches.  Basically, in shorewall
3.2, the configuration files were identified before the commands were
processed.  So, it did not matter what command you wanted to run, it
would error out if at least a minimal configuration did not exist.
