 i find it really frustrating moving wordpress from server to server and to
 a new url.

 this is mainly due to the fact that the url is hard coded in the database,
 requiring me to open up the sql and do a find and replace.

 would it be possible to use the $SERVER globals to get the 'blog url'
 rather than making entries in the database with the http://blog.url/ part
 of the url?

 that would make the process so much easier, since you could just
 backup/reup the database using your normal database admin tools without
 messing around with editing the .sql file or going through the processes
 described at

 http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_to_a_New_Server



 would it be possible to make wordpress more portable? i would be happy to
 help design/code the feature.
