+WARNING: About to make config/rails_env.rb which, via special
+code in config/boot.rb, forces the Rails environment to be a
+particular one - this is used for the mySociety deployment
+system. You don't want it for local development, because it will 
+not work in a confusing way you try and use two environments
+(e.g. development and test) in the same working directory.
