 When configuring pretty permalinks on IIS 7 and the iis config file
 web.config does not exist then WordPress auto-generates the following xml
 configuration:


 {{{
 configuration>
                                 <system.webServer>
                                         <rewrite>
                                                 <rules>

                                  <configuration>
                                         <system.webServer>
                                                 <rewrite>
                                                         <rules>

                          <rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
                                 <match url="*" />
                                         <conditions>
                                                 <add
 input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                                                 <add
 input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                                         </conditions>
                                 <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                          </rule>

                                                 </rules>
                                         </rewrite>
                                 </system.webServer>
                          </configuration>

 }}}

 This is a malformed XML and when user puts it into the web.config file it
 results in IIS generating server error HTTP 500.

 Also, the XML indentation is broken.

 This seems to be a regression as it worked fine in WordPress 2.9.X.
