I think the sql-datas files should be moved ouside of the misc
dir, and the sql-datas dir itself should be re-named IMO.
I'd suggest something like:

koha/installer/data/sql

I tend to agree with Paul here ... a well written .htaccess can eliminate
any security problems and keeping the installation tree identical to the
cvs tree makes testing and updating an installation much much simpler.

I'm planning on testing this out today, I'll let you know how it
goes.
