 We didn't call it install_network() in MU though, they were simply part of
 the global variable WP uses. I think we should add them back into that
 variable, appending them conditionally. (And also appending global terms
 conditionally.)

 We should be able to make changes to $wp_queries and have it work. Right
 now we have to call install_network() in an upgrade routine, which seems
 odd. If someone wants to add columns, they'd tap into $wp_queries like the
 rest, like how it was done in MU.
