Right now running choco produces Chocolatey v### and nothing else, leaving folks sometimes wondering what the next thing they should do.

Instead it would be better if it produced a message like this:

Chocolatey v###
Please run 'choco -?' or 'choco <command> -?' for help menu.

Hi, I want to start contributing. This seems like a good one to start with. I haven't seen a pull request for this item yet so I assume it's still up for grabs ?

Yes sir. Just read over CONTRIBUTING in it's entirety. It is very specific even about how to write your commit messages. HTH. Looking forward to your PR.

Sorry about the delay, I don't have much time during the work week... I read CONTRIBUTING, reviewed the code, made the changes, tested the changes. Now I'm going to re-read CONTRIBUTING ;) and send that pull request soon
