Comment (by wycks):

 This is exactly why I made this, https://github.com/wycks/WordPhing .

 It basically only does the install so it's not like the wp-cli (which is
 way more advanced), it will install the DB, latest WP and any
 plugins/themes in about 30-40 seconds.

 Benefits:

 Platform independant, runs on PHP.
 Phing is included in most every stack.
 It installs plugins and themes as well.

 Drawbacks:
 Requires command line
 Using it on shared host is a big what if because of PEAR packages.

 Maybe something along these lines could actually be baked into WordPress,
 the 5 minute install made it famous, I think it's time to improve that
 especially with all the mega simple to configure PHP cloud apps breathing
 down its neck.

 ps. link only tested with xampp on windows.
