Don't use the M-Word. ... That would be the worst case.

... sawmill-defaults (or now: sawfish-defaults) is not a config-file. It's the out-of-the-box configuration
of sawfish (see: sawfish.wm.defaults)

I added README.IMPORTANT for letting Users know. Anyway, it's no problem to let configure display messages.
(I'll so or so add similar ending message to sawfish's configure like in librep or rep-gtk, adding more text is no
problem at all)

O.K. It's your decision. Among SVN I was just interrested in knowing it. "Teika Kazura" makes your real name just more "mystical". :)
