When meli is executed without a configuration or with an incomplete configuration, it uses Ask.run() to ask the user about setting some defaults.

It prints the question to stdout without a newline, and stdout is buffered on many systems. So meli appears to hang when it's waiting for an answer to the question that the user has not seen yet.

explicitly flushing stdout after using the print macro fixes this.
