Um, we have had this for a while [2], mksetupini is the tool to use if
you don't need all the extra stuff which calm does.

I guess mksetupini could have more friendly defaults to make the command
lines in [1] shorter if that really scares people off (e.g. default
--inifile to stdout, --releasearea to '.' and to
--okmissing=required-package (then need a way to turn it back on, though))
I don't see why this should be necessary. You've written out the
command line for people to copy and paste.
With [1] available, I think it should be OK to rip out ScanFindVisitor.
