[wp-hackers] Is WP_INSTALLING constant here to stay?

[Carsten Bach]

Hello Dino,

I'm not sure if WP_INSTALLING is the right way to go, but I'd have a 
look into the SHORTINIT constant for your reason.

By defining SHORTINIT you'll force a short-init with only core WP, not 
the entire framework stack.

Have a look at http://wpengineer.com/2449/load-minimum-of-wordpress/ for 
some short explanation or 
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/load-wp-core-in-another-framework-shortinit-wp_query 
for an example of an external App using the WP core.

Good luck
Carsten
