Ummm .. you guys do realise there's nothing stopping you from running  
drupal as a command line script ? right.

At the top of the install.php file, just add this :

if ($argv[1]) {
   $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = $argv[1];
   $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/install.php';
   $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '/install.php';
   $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = '/install.php';
   $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] = $_SERVER['PWD'] . '/install.php';
   $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
}

And then you can run install.php via the php command line as './ 
install.php www.mysite.com'

In fact, I think it's entirely practical to turn install.php and  
update.php into scripts that can be run on the command line.
