Ok, the thing I wrote works.  Installs and upgrades based on a single
dumped SQL script (after you replace the "wp_"s with "$wpdb->"s).

Is there a reason why the installer goes through steps that the user
must click through even though there isn't any interaction, or could the
installer just flash and be done?  Curious.
