Users should get emails when the script dies because of a critical failure. Critical
failures are defined as any errors that could abnormally terminate the script.

In order to add email support, this patch converts all die() to dodie() except:
* when '-v' is used as an option to get the version of the script.
* in Sig-Int handeler because it's not a fatal error to cancel the script.
* errors happen during parsing config
I would say you don't need it for parsing the config either. It doesn't
make sense, as you wouldn't have the mailto defined yet.

Maybe it's the way I worded it. This patch coverts all die() to dodie() _except_ these situations. So it doesn't send emails on config errors, which is what you said here.

Here, no config was specified, and so no configs either.

Here too.
Right, I missed these two. I will send out v3 shortly.
