ZZ/OSS Installer - SitePoint PHP Blog: an excellent idea: a generic "installer" application for PHP scripts. But: "With the available releases, while playing "I'm a dumb user", was unable to install the installer.", and "writing installers for PHP, the installer itself also being PHP, is notoriously difficult."
I really pray they make this into a useful tool, even for small scripts (not just a developer plaything). Installing even a simple PHP script is still too hard, a few exceptions aside. This beginners tutorial explains things a bit.
