 If I try to run "sim build" without configuring simfactory, it reports
 "Error: required key email in section pelican is missing".  Note that I am
 not running on pelican - it's probably just the first machine that it
 checks.  Not only is the error message very confusing, I should not need
 to specify an email address to run simfactory (and certainly not for all
 machines - why is this even a machine-specific option?).  I realise that
 there is the sim setup command, but I don't see the point.  simfactory
 should not have to be spoon-fed information that is either unnecessary or
 easy to determine.  The email address is only used, as far as I know, in
 job submission scripts.  If the email address is not provided, it should
 be at job submission time that this is reported.
