I don't think sysadmin will like the idea of having the password
hardcoded. Hrm. You can do what we do in
http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/foundation-web/trunk/foundation.gnome.org/vote/include/election-sql.php?view=markup

That is:
if (is_readable ("/home/admin/secret/anonvoting")) {
  include ("/home/admin/secret/anonvoting");
  $has_config = TRUE;
}

I guess this means we'll be able to assign this action to you :-)

Agree. We should probably keep an action for this, so we don't forget
about it. Or maybe put it on a TODO list.
