Well I've been thinking about how we could make the install process as easy
and fast as possible, and although we can't currently cut out the FTP
process [1], we can certainly make it faster. Some hosts don't have the
ability to unpack zip/tar files on the server, so a user would have to
upload all files individually - not really as fast as it could be.

Other than the user choosing a different download on the website, I also
think this would be the easiest way of them choosing between stable/dev
builds on install. Even if the one-file-installer simply transferred our
required files and directed the user to the current installer, it would be a
step in the right direction IMHO.

[1] I had a crazy idea, that to save users from having to install an FTP
program, they could input their FTP details on the Habari website and then
transfer the files from there. There are privacy issues, but as long as all
login data was erased after install, it would be pretty neat for people like
my Dad who don't have a clue! :P
