#13839: Configuration script does not allow apostrophes, blank prefixes

 When using the wp-admin/setup-config.php to create a configuration file
 automatically, the following do not work properly:

 1. Using a MySQL username with an apostrophe.
 2. Using a MySQL password with an apostrophe.
 3. Using a blank prefix.

 The expected outcomes is that Wordpress:
 1. Runs
 2. Uses tables with no prefix (not swp)

 The actual outcome is that the configuration file has errors due to
 unclosed apostrophes, and the tables created start with wp_. Adding
 addslashes() to certain statements and removing

 Line 152:
 {{{
 if (empty($prefix)) $prefix = 'wp_';
 }}}

 would correct this.
