Now that I think about it and see the way the functions are built, it 
might be a good strategy to:
- do the autodetection in the install tool to provide a suggestion for 
the setting
- use variable functions to call the right function depending on the 
settings
- use a try/catch construction for situations where the settings are not 
supported by the system (e.g. mbstring in settings, but functions are 
not available), log error and use default.

I haven't tried this strategy, but I think there can be a performance 
gain in losing the if...elseif...elseif constructions.

Just an idea, any thoughts of others?
