Dave: Is there any chance the installers link to that page from their error

updating the installer messages I'll collect up a sanitized version that
doesn't link to other wiki pages (or make it clear they're external) and
convert it for the docs.
We can't do clickable links in those message boxes, so I'm not sure
how useful it'll be in practice.
Argh. I've been in the browser-based app too long, I simply forget that
URL handling isn't everywhere.
The main ones that IMO need a where-to-go-next hint are the messages
that arise when an external process step fails, like initdb, failure to
install the runtime, etc. It's /always/ necessary to ask a poster asking
for help for the installer log - and how many people don't post or ask
for help, just get stuck and confused?
