Comment (by dd32):

 [attachment:6481.11.diff] builds off [attachment:6481.10.diff] and takes a
 slightly different direction
 * Permalinks are assumed not to work, and enables them if possible (rather
 than enabling, then verifying later it works)
 * Supports index.php prefixed paths
 * Applies a 5 second request timeout to the loopback connection
 * Tested under nginx with the following configurations:
  * No Rewrites possible (all 404)
  * `/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/` rewrite support
  * `/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/` rewrite support
  * Rewrites hitting a different blog (x-pingback != current install)

 Thoughts?

 I thought of adding a filter onto `$permalink_structures`, however if you
 wish to customize it, it's probably better to hook onto `wp_install` and
 perform all custom site setup after WordPress is done.
