Bug Description
On start-up gschem emits half a screen full of messages in the log window. Most of it contains no information to the user if everything is fine. There is:
* The version string.
--> This is fine, because it provides an easy way to report the version in bug reports.
* A header in legaleze ("ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY").
--> I doubt, that this is a legal necessity. Did not see this kind of message in any other open source application.
* Many messages about the configs read and parsed.
* Searching foobar.sch
* Found foobar.sch
--> This is really like a debugging printf. When told to open a specific file, it should do so silently and only warn if it could not open the file for some reason.
Suggestion:
Limit the output on start-up to the version string by default. Only print the rest of the messages if the option --verbose is given.

The logging doesn't look excessive to me.
