This doesn't help Windows hosting. I haven't tried out the WAMP setup, but I think that it runs as you, so the permissions thing shouldn't need to be done. The database, however, still needs to be setup either manually or with another script. This brings up the question of what type of OS support we want to have for auto setup stuff like this, which is probably influenced at least by what setup we expect at Climate Central (does anyone remember if this has come up in a discussion with them?).
