Replying to myself: Is this really what Simfactory does - or does it
only "enable" these thorns when they are present in the thornlist, but
commented out? If the latter is the case I think it should be fine,
although it might still confuse people that don't even look at the
simfactory configuration of the machine, and use a thornlist with such a
thorn commented out, but not present. Could we somehow let these users
give a hint why Cactus fails with 'thorn not found', when the original
thornlist clearly commented it out?
