They're screwed anyway.  Config changes.

Options to partially unscrew them:
1. Allow config to be just verified, and advise them that they need a
   new version if we don't have any sources available.
2. Move config as part of the sys/ tree (not a good option, IMO, as
   we'll want configuration of the entire source tree at a later date.
   Might be a good temporary measure, though).
3. Separate the changing and the static data in config.

Now, who does the work?  ;-)
