Enhancement: Automatically forward to /install if root user is missing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

With #r37, the config and install process is the following:

1. vim app.yaml  # edit your app id
2. python manage.py config --write-to-file
3. python manage.py update
4. open http://yoursite.appspot.com/install

Step 4 could be slightly simplified by automatically forwarding
http://yoursite.appspot.com/ to http://yoursite.appspot.com/install if the
root user is missing.

I'm not totally sure I want to do this, if a call to access the root user fails 
for
some reason I'm worried about sending users at that page.

May not be such a big deal though, I'm open to adding this.

One argument is that if a call to access ROOT fails then things are _very_ 
broken.

Another way to handle it is to have some variable that says if the application 
has been fully installed yet and only 
show /install if that variable is false.
