BUG? create-tdb overwrites existing database

I'm wondering if the 'qmtest create-tdb' command should prompt before
creating a database where one lives already. Although the existing
database hierarchy is not afftected, the QMTest/configuration file is
overwritten. Wouldn't this be potentially damaging?
I mistakenly executed create-tdb in a fresh directory, forgetting that
QMTEST_DB_PATH was defined to point to a working database. The command
worked without complaint and the modification time of
QMTest/configuration changed.
A simple check would suffice: if there is a QMTest directory in the
target location (working directory or QMTEST_DB_PATH), then ask for
confirmation before proceeding.
