Re: [development] Patching settings.php

I like the -dist idea by Earl, and what Jeff is proposing. The other day, I did an install on my head checkout, and got SQL errors, because I already had a subdomain.example.com directory and settings.php in it. So, I erroneously assumed that the installer does not touch settings.php, and wrote an article about it, which several people (including Jeff) corrected. Only when I copied the default/settings.php to the subdomain.example.com was I able to see the installer work properly. Yes, we should make the installer create the multi-site directories. This means settings.php and themes at a minimum. Now that we have sites/all in there, a per site modules directory is not needed in most cases.
