I'm not sure what's supposed to be "obviously wrong" about telling you how
to generate conf.php from conf.xml.

While I do appreciate your quote from the INSTALL file, that file is obviously
wrong.  When I leave all of it alone it gives me a fatal error saying that it is
missing conf.php.  It is quite specific as to what it wants.  It will not run
with a blank conf.php file either.  It complains about undefined classes then.

Any ideas that don't come in a manual?  (Because, believe me... I have read it)
