Maybe sometime like this is a good compromise.  The Install Tool check 
currently lives in typo3/install/index.php before the real Install Tool 
functionality is initialized.

We would either need to have 2 separate error messages in this file 
based on the normal Install Tool vs. 123 Install Tool or move the check 
for the file deeper inside the Install Tool functionality.

Any thoughts?
