I am insane to keep this going, but the proposal I made did not require doing
anything manually (other than running the install script, which you have to do
anyway). The install script knows (or can find out) where the MW root is
located. It could then either: 1) rewrite php.ini to concatenate the location
of MWInit.php at the end of include_path, or 2) plop MWInit.php into a
directory already searched by PHP for includes/requires (e.g., the PEAR)
directory.
I gave up on the proposal when people pointed out that MW admins may not have
the privileges that would allow the install script to do either.
