I've been making the new directory and setting up the settings.php in a
new directory. Then, I go to install.php and it does the install
(without asking anything) and says its done.

Completely undocumented, but it works somehow.

I don't trust the installer with any permissions on sites/... since it
wrote .../default/settings.php when I first tried it and that managed to
make it into a commit.
