Heh, I had the same idea earlier today. There's a bit of a chicken-and-
egg problem here, since you don't have $_CONF['site_url'] yet and
therefore can't safely do the redirect.

I tried this (in lib-common.php):

require_once 'siteconfig.php' ;
if ($_CONF['path'] == '/path/to/geeklog/') {
    echo COM_refresh("admin/install/");
    exit;
}
require_once $_CONF['path_system'] . 'classes/config.class.php';

That works for the index.php but not if you come in through, say, the
staticpages directory. We can't use "/admin/install" since the site may
be in a subdirectory. And figuring out the correct current URL and go
from there is a bit nasty (see COM_getCurrentURL).

bye, Dirk
