hook_install()

Perform setup tasks when the module is installed.

If the module implements hook_schema(), the database tables will be created before this hook is fired.

The hook will be called the first time a module is installed, and the module's schema version will be set to the module's greatest numbered update hook. Because of this, anytime a hook_update_N() is added to the module, this function needs to be updated to reflect the current version of the database schema.

See the Schema API documentation at http://drupal.org/node/146843 for details on hook_schema and how database tables are defined.

Note that since this function is called from a full bootstrap, all functions (including those in modules enabled by the current page request) are available when this hook is called. Use cases could be displaying a user message, or calling a module function necessary for initial setup, etc.

Please be sure that anything added or modified in this function that can be removed during uninstall should be removed with hook_uninstall().
