Summary: Installer requires mysql root pw

Initial Comment:
This seems like a simple description, but it wants 
the mysql root password even when you are not 
creating the database or the user. This complicates 
the install considerably when you are using hosting.

Provided you have created a suitable database and 
user, there is no reason why the installer should 
require the root password at all, though it uses it 
repeatedly even if you specify --nocreatedb and --
nocreateuser.

~/web/everything> bin/install_esite --nocreatedb --
nocreateuser -h=localhost -u=hyperlogos -p='password' 
hyperlogos
found Everything install at .
Ok to use /web/drink/web/everything for Everything 
directory? (N/y)y
Please enter the root password for mysql 
DBI->connect(mysql:localhost) failed: Access denied 
for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) at 
bin/install_esite line 378
Can't call method "disconnect" on an undefined value 
at bin/install_esite line 389, <STDIN> line 2.
drink@denied:~/web/everything > mysql -u hyperlogos
ERROR 1045: Access denied for 
user: 'hyperlogos@localhost' (Using password: NO)

If you comment out that seemingly unnecessary access 
to the database (which is just a connect and 
disconnect to make sure you have root access) then it 
fails later in some call made to part of the 
Everything perl module. I didn't dig that far.
