 Do we still have a desire for wpfs in 3.0? So far, I've been laying the
 groundwork for the fallback/manual route, and it seems ready for wpfs if
 we're inclined.

 Adding constants to wp-config.php is easy, but given WP_ENABLE_MULTISITE,
 it doesn't seem like a required feature for us to do this automatically.

 Updating .htaccess is a Good Idea, but we should bring the rules into core
 better so we can use the existing functions (which, incidentally, doesn't
 use wpfs).

 wpfs procedure would be:
  - Back up wp-config.php.
  - Add constants.
  - back up .htaccess.
  - Add rules to .htaccess.
  - wp_remote_get() the blog to make sure we didn't 500 the server.
  - (Revert if we did.)
  - Add blogs.dir.
