Moving tests so that '--version' is handled before possible error
messages is fine. However, other changes look like regression to
me: current tests in 'config.lisp' deliberately match feature
tests in Lisp code. Since "features" are used by programs they
should be more stable than other things. Basing test on output
that is normally _not_ handled by programs is less robust.
And there is added uglyness due to embedded spaces in messages.
