Description:
Upon installing MediaWiki under IIS, the $wgArticlePath option in
LocalSettings.php is often set incorrectly to the "pretty URLs". Because of the
way PHP works with IIS, this is wrong, and causes a 404 not found error.

Proposed solution is to force this option to use the ugly URLs when using IIS.
This can be done during install, or manually during execution.

Patch will likely follow.

Patch against CVS HEAD

OK, the patch improves the detection for php_sapi_name(), and adds "isapi" to
the list of cases where ugly URLs will be used.

It also made no sense to default to pretty URLs when they might not work, so I
altered the default to ugly URLs in unknown cases.

Applied to HEAD, without the redundant strtolower() as discussed on IRC.
