 * I started fooling around w/ the beta and have a feature request / sort of bug
 * in the previous version of wordpress it was very easy to alter the index.php 
   file to integrate the application into an existing site structure / application.
   For instance a site built using fusebox or the such. Yet with the new integration
   of templates this is alot more difficult… how would some one suggest this integration/
   or could there be an option to run it as an external blog, where the template
   and the wp-blog-header, would undertsand to do or nnot do certain things. For
   example the “exit” lines at the bottom of wp-blog-header.php?

 * as a side I was able to get wordpress integrated into another app, by hard codding
   some paths, and editing the for mentioned exit commands

 * Add the following line before requiring the blog header.
 * `$wp_template_redirect = false;`
 * This will turn off the theme system.

 * I think the problem really is we’re using $pagenow == index.php to kick things
   off, and pagenow really wasn’t meant for generic non-wp files, as it doesn’t 
   discriminate based on directories. Perhaps we should bump get_home_path() up 
   and check if the index is in ABSPATH or get_home_path before doing template magic.

 * If I use
 * $wp_template_redirect = false;
 * can I still use an index page which I created in 1.2.2 ?
 * This would essentially bypass the use of the use of the themes, but are their
   any other gotchas?

 * geekpunk, it should work the way you describe it – go ahead, and give it a try.
   Back up your index.php, stylesheets anyways.

 * yup, with some tweaking that worked, I needed to create a wp-comments.php in 
   the wordpress root. I also needed to put this line in ..
 * if (isset($p) && $p > 0 ) include(ABSPATH . ‘wp-comments.php’);
 * where it was once just
 * include(ABSPATH . ‘wp-comments.php’)

 * If you use a wp-comments.php from 1.2.2 you shouldn’t need to do that.
 * Also, you can is_single() instead of checking $p.
