Installation fails on security step [5.0.1]

Imported From: http://groups.google.com/group/in-portal-bugs/browse_thread/thread/3766e4e2373bcba3#

The installation of 5.0.1 fails on security step, when it uses curl to verify, that "/system" directory is not writable. Problem happens, because curl module in php is disabled by default and in case when it's missing and get used, then strange things start to happen. In most hosting curl is installed, but just in case I propose to add new step (just after path checks), that will determine required php module presence before even trying to install In-Portal. For example curl, libxml and so on. Maybe we could write some descriptive information about each module (e.g. why it's required), so user will know if it's critical for him to install such module in php, or not.

P.S.

I report this on behalf of SergeyG.
