[development] Deployment process

[Ken Winters]

Where possible, do everything in code rather than the database.   
Trying to merge two databases is a giant
pain, but pushing new code and running update.php is fairly painless.

If you do have to make database changes after the client has already  
entered data, you'll want to script it (often
using an importer).
