Summary: Error when default name removed

Initial Comment:
If a tag has a default value of a name, and that name 
is removed without resetting the default value to 
something else, switcher will error -- and the "module 
load switcher" will fail.  

Example where this happens:

1. Install env-switcher and modules RPMs
2. Install lam-module RPM
3. root manually sets system default for mpi tag to be 
lam-6.5.6
4. remove the lam-module RPM

switcher should be able to handle this situation 
somehow.

This was caused by puts'ing to stderr a warning that a
modulefile for that name didn't exist -- TCL interpreted
that to mean that the child process had failed.  So we no
longer puts that warning to stderr; rely on "announce" to
display errors and warnings like that.
