 > > wp-load.php does check that one level up wp-settings.php does not also
 exist. This could help. But I feel this has the potential to cause more
 problems than it could solve. Short of parsing wp-blog-header.php, which
 sounds not very fun, I'm not really sure what we should do here. You cite
 the new wp_install hook — seems like it would make more sense for this
 check to remain plugin territory.

 Better yet, what about checking the referral that sends the user to the
 install url?
