I think it's a little more accurate to say: "it creates it's own DB if 
needed, but will install its tables into an existing one". (And then add 
the caveats about naming and overwriting). I installed 1.3.?? into an 
existing DB. In fact, don't you have to have a DB with account and username 
before install?
