Editfiles on missing files

[Chip Seraphine]

I've got several situations where I am editing a file, but if it doesn't exist 
I'm okay with that.  To avoid errors, I currently have to do a FileExists() 
and then use the results of that to control the editfiles block.  This is a 
little tedious and does an extra stat... it would be Really Great if we could 
have a "MissingOK" option (kinda like the opposite of AutoCreate) that 
supresses the error message.

I tried writing a patch for this but it appears to be more complicated than it 
looks.  Any ambitious folk out there with better C skills than I think this 
is a good idea?
