If you're installed vmware fusion, you know Installer.app can have 
something integrated to ask questions; The ideal case would be that we'd 
have something pop up to ask for
1) your choice of cell name
2) whether you wish to use the bundled CellServDB, download one, (or enter 
one by hand?)
3) a small set of options, like afsdb, which i think should default to on

and also have it work in CLI mode (run /usr/sbin/installer sometime if you 
don't know what I mean)...

but also have some way to install in question-free mode.

Changing to afsdb by default mid-1.4 does offer some possible confusion, 
but given some other changes which (basically need to) appear in 1.4.5 
perhaps it won't be that confusing compared to other things.
