Description
I have tried to update automatically from 2.1.6 to 2.1.7 while having renamed my admin directory for security reason. I've correctly renamed the directory by changing its path in the config file (as stated in the corresponding online documentation).
Despite having correctly renamed my admin path, the automatic update process still look after the default "admin" directory name, telling that all the files have been altered.
Automatic update should consider custom admin path.

Sadly, there is no custom admin path in Dotclear. There is a custom admin URL, wich is different (its purpose being to allw all blogs in a blogfarm (ie. user1.blogfarm.net, user2.blogfarm.net) to use the same admin url : admin.blogfarm.com.
Should you use that formula, it's then up to you to set up your server so that user1.blogfarm.net/admin is not accessible.
Beside, it's a feature that the auto-update procedure only works on standard installations.
