Just added a prompt before the configuration directory is moved, so the
user can choose to quit instead. This is useful if an older first
instance is already running and you don't want to lose any changed
configuration when it is eventually shut down.

In this case, the user should choose the Quit option from the 2nd
instance, then quit the 1st instance and restart it, choosing Yes when
asked whether to move the config dir.

Nick
