 When a user enters his or her database settings, the entire wp-config-
 sample.php is read. This file is then searched for certain strings, which
 will then be replaced with the strings the user supplied. However, wp-
 config-sample.php contains quotes, which are automatically quoted because
 magic_quotes_runtime is enabled.
 To add more confusion: the installation doesn't even complain! Before
 these replacements are made, the databaseconnection is tested using the
 user-supplied strings. These of course are correct, but strings in wp-
 config.php are not!

 So:
 * wp-admin/setup-config.php should check for magic_quotes_runtim
 * wp-admin/setup-config.php should use the variables from wp-config.php to
 test the connection (after they have been replaced)
 * wp-admin/setup-config.php should use a better way to create this config,
 this is really ugly!
