 It would be nice to replace the wp-config.php file with wp-content/wp-
 config.php.

 That way, users could install WP by merely uploading the files and making
 the wp-content folder writable by the server. We'd have a screen prompt
 the user to enter the db details, and create the file on the fly via the
 wp-config-sample.php.

 Old installs could be "upgraded" reasonably simply:

 {{{
 if ( !include (whatever) . '/wp-content/wp-config.php' )
 {
   // check for wp-config.php in root folder and autocreate new config file

   // else launch wp-config file generator
 }
 }}}
