Comment:

 {{{utf8_general_ci}}} is not a valid ''charset'' (Character Set), What it
 is, Is a valid ''collation''

 You can set the Collation via the constant '''DB_COLLATE''', but the
 charset should stay as 'utf8'.

 The installer should reconise failed SQL queries however, I'm not sure why
 it doesnt already.

 Future Release pending patch.
