I should make a note that the next upgrade to Vanilla will include a big change to the settings.php file.
I want to set up localized configurations so that you can take all files from new installations and just drop them on top of existing installations not worrying about overwriting application settings. It should make upgrades about 500% easier.
Hehe, whatever floats, I'll board it. As long as changes to the DB remain simple I'm all for it. I'm currently in the middle of rehashing this busted DB I screwed up :)
