Wrong. It will with 3.8.0 + DBAL extension. :)

So pretty much anythign the install tool already does could be rewitten.
Cool. :/

Huh? What so frustrating about unpacking an archive?

1. Well, I unpack it (install tool & autoconf)
2a. I call the install tool, it tells me to fix this & that (install tool)
2b. I call configure, it tells me to fix this & that (autoconf)

Where's the difference, besides the fact that 2a is browser-based and 2b
needs shell access? And who will answer all those poeple that try to set up
TYPO3 on some cheap hoster without shell access and come here complaining
about the lousy setup?
