Comment(by nacin):

 [12926] looks good, thanks :)

 Thinking we should then do the following:
  - Rename wp-includes/blogs.php to wp-includes/ms-files.php.
  - Copy all wp-content/blogs.php functionality to ms-files.php, and remove
 blogs.php from trunk.
  - At the very start of ms-files.php, check if wp-content/blogs.php
 exists, if it does, include it and die(). Otherwise, let ms-files.php run
 its course.

 This has the benefit of:
  - moving core functionality out of wp-content and into a file that can be
 updated easily.
  - being backwards compatible with anyone running a customized version of
 blogs.php.
  - being forwards compatible by allowing anyone to drop-in their own
 blogs.php if they want their own file handling.

 Patch to this effect coming in a bit.
