config.log can be pretty large, and the useful parts are usually at around the 60% mark of the file. dumping the whole thing the users terminal seems overly excessive to me, but perhaps printing the path to the file with a suggestion on what to look for would be good enough.
Yes, dumping the whole thing to stdout or stderr seems excessive. However, the work is done in a temporary directory, which is removed on exit, so just printing the path to the file probably won't work; we'd also have to copy the log file somewhere more permanent, or somehow disable the removal of ${tmpdir} in this case.
