Great tool.

Would be nice if one could specify the subdirectory used to install owncloud.
E.g. with default owncloud or if empty (or .) install into the same dir that 
contains setup-owncloud.php.

I'm also not sure if the rewrite rules in .htaccess also work with an 
installation not located in htdocs.  With 4.0.? it did not.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
