Actually if you put it in the installer you are making a commitment to

It's because it's pretty hard to detect this stuff "out of the box." We can
try, but it's not always easy. I'd love to see this in the installer ev
If short URLs were so good, then one wouldn't need an 'after market'
treatment to add them. I'll wait.
Plus, I might know how to maintain them now, but five years later will I

I've added Lighttpd support to the shorturl tool now. Complete with a port
of the IE6 XSS fix we have in images/.htaccess.

You might be able to adapt the tests I use in the tool and the rules for
generating the config later on.
Though as-is the actual code won't be as much help. It's in Ruby rather
than PHP. And the code has to be intermixed with the config output because
of how variable short url config can be.
I'm actually glad you brought that up - it's a general topic that's been
bouncing around in my mind lately.
I can appreciate the marketing concern. :) I think we'll need to be flexible
in allowing the look and logo to remain intact. As I've been reviewing
extension pages, I've noticed a heal

Integrating short url config to the installer has been on my todo list for
a long time.

I think the tool is great!
Would it be possible to house on labs or toolserver? My only hesitation in
