[29593] trunk/www (install.php)

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Hello Anders!

	Thanks for your comments & feedback, much appreciated! I wrote a bit  
of a long message regarding my commit, my thoughts on what's still  
missing and what I believe we should do with what's in other sources  
of information like the new guide and trac, but haven't posted so far  
'cause there's gonna be a temporary outage for @macports.org mail  
aliases today at 9am California time (Mac OS Forge moving boxes), and  
I didn't want to miss any replies.

	I'll amend that soon-to-be-post with your comments below and release  
it ASAP ;-) Thanks again for the feedback, that's exactly what I need!

	Regards,...
