Silently ignoring an installed config file isn't good
practice either.

I don't know. I guess i wouldn't have implemented compiled
in codecs.conf in the first place. Yes, i know that it came
a long time after the first implementation of codecs.conf
and we had some reason for it back than (though i don't remember
what it was). But also -codecs-file isn't that old, it has
just turned 3 years old.
