>Description:
	When one has DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES set, said administrator has
	made a conscious decision to ignore the vulnerability database. Therefore,
	having "===>  Vulnerability check disabled" printed for each and
	every build gets really annoying. The message reminding users that
	the vulnerability database is disabled because it doesn't exist is
	fine, because it is there to inform users who don't know about it. But
	when you've chosen to disable vulnerability checks, having a reminder of
	this for each and every build is irritating and silly.

	As it stands right now, if you don't have the vulnerability database
	installed, all DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES does for you is remove
	", database not found" from a string.

	I ask that the message please be removed. The attached patch does
	just that.

	And uh, while you're at it, could you please change the message two lines
	above to "===>  Vulnerability check disabled (database not found)"? That
	comma makes it a run-on sentence.
