It's harder to do it, but certainly possible. You can't run create_db for
obvious reasons, and you need to make sure that the database you _do_create
uses the same name: binarycloud_db.

Note, though that r2 will require access to non-module php on the command
line, because all of the Makefiles are php. That's going to be harder to
find on a shared hosting box with that config available, if you have no
ability to develop your stuff on a local linux/bsd/etc box.

I have no idea if the Makefile would work on Win, as I haven't done any
testing. I think it's probably safe to assume that r2 will need a unix-esque
machine to run on.

The best way to run things would be:
    -local development machine (any cheap pc hardware will do, redhat or
similar)
    -virtualhost (shared hosting) setup, with php 4.0.4+, we can control ini
setting from within Init.

Yes, this is a sort-of-not-bug which is a result of me not testing a patch I
received enough.

I will send you the breadcrumbs lib which doesn't use BC_DOCROOT.

great :)
