Installer News - now with kind of an upgrader!

Heya everyone,

I've been putting polish on the installer - it seems to be working pretty well for stuff -

the last thing I think I'm going to do is allow you to skip parts of the configuration, if certain things are avaiable

For example, if you already have the SQL backend set up, the installer will happily use your already-existing SQL backend

Also, if you already have an advanced installation and you just point the installer to it, it'll use whatever you already have, and just try to make sure the Config pm is set up correctly Total win!

The screenshot shows what happens, if you attempt to set the dada_files directory location to where one is already living - it gives you an option just to use that, and that's the first/last step of the installation!

This won't work for everyone - since things do become obsolete and incompatibilities do crop up between versions, but this should help a few folks with an easier upgrade experience,
