 The error message that gets displayed when no {{{wp-config.php}}} is found
 is rather bland:

 {{{
 There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can
 get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php
 file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups.
 The safest way is to manually create the file.
 }}}

 I think we should spruce it up, make it more helpful, and link to the
 Codex rather than the OOOOLD docs.

 Not to mention it seems that the auto-detection of the link to {{{setup-
 config.php}}} isn't that good. When installing on my local Windows PC and
 having the wordpress files in a folder called {{{wordpress}}}, it didn't
 figure it out and created the link wrong.
