-The Git Autoinstaller

-TODO NOW:
-
-- If no newlines at all, DON'T CARE (don't rewrite the file again!)
-- Plugin-ify!
-- Check for improper use of os.exists() when os.lexists() was meant
-
-- Add support for mypristine workflow
-- Wordpress needs to get rid of the siteurl hack, so that it actually
- has a fully-qualified URL http://foo.scripts.mit.edu/blah. This will
- also fix Wordpress's cron functionality. We should be careful not
- to write over users who are on vhosts. We should figure out who is
- still on twiddle paths. We should make sure the redirect is handled
- correctly.
+- [SCRIPTS] MediaWiki 1.9.3 and 1.6.7

+- .scripts/.wizard are kind of ugly when they're not added to the
+ ignore. What to do?
+
+- util.fetch() should use urllib under the hood, not httplib. Code
+ has to be changed. We should log if we get redirected.
+- Be a little more intelligent when perform web checks; for example,
+ if we get a forbidden message, that probably means we go the right
+ address but it's blocked off; if we get a 404 message, that probably
+ means wrong address. Account Unknown is something particularly good
+ to check for.
+- Wordpress module can do something intelligent if we get redirected
+ to the installation page.
+- The need to run egg_info can make things a little fragile when pulling
+ if you forget. How can we make this less easily forgotten?
+- wizardResolve* files seem to get left in tmp en-mass, and we don't
+ know why.
+
+- Plugin-ify! Hook-ify! In more detail, applications should all be moved
+ out into plugins, scripts specific behavior should be moved into
+ plugins, and hooks need to be made available so that we can exert
+ the correct level of control.

- Remerges aren't reflected in the parent files, so `git diff` output is
spurious. Not sure how to fix this w/o tree hackery.
- Parse output HTML for class="error" and give those errors back to the user (done),
then boot them back into configure so they can enter in something different
-- If you try to do an install on scripts w/o sql, it will sign you up but fail to write
- the sql.cnf file. This sucks.

-- Web application for installing autoinstalls has a hard problem
- with credentials (as well as installations that are not conducted
- on an Athena machine.) We have some crazy ideas involving a signed
- Java applet that uses jsch to SSH into athena.dialup and perform
- operations.

- Pay back code debt
- Tidy up common code in callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell;
output summary charts when I increase specificity
- Other stuff
+ - Add support for mypristine workflow
- Figure out why Sphinx sometimes fails to crossref :func: but wil
crossref :meth:, even though the dest is very clearly a function.
Example: :func:`wizard.app.php.re_var`
that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
in Scripts.

- Old maintainers who don't care who are still on the ACL
- - Private AFS groups that aren't mailing lists and that we

- other users won't care.
