(This allows the initial wiki setup page -- the one where you give it all the basic settings for connecting to the database, name of the wiki, etc. -- to load properly.)
	* Trying to submit the web-install page without giving the MySQL root user does not seem to work; even with all privileges granted via mysql-admin, it still runs into a privilege it needs but doesn't have (there's probably a way to grant it via the command line mysql client, but I don't know what that is).
