 It's currently possible to override a couple of functions in a wp-
 content/install.php file, namely:

 * wp_install() - top level install function
 * wp_install_defaults() - Installs default post, page, links, cat, etc.
 * wp_new_blog_notification() - Sends the new blog email.
 * wp_upgrade() - Top level upgrade function.

 However, they severely lack plugin hooks, which would allow developers to
 simply hack in there accordingly without needing to keep install functions
 in sync with core when they want to tweak them.

 I'd like to suggest adding hooks named after those functions at the end of
 each of them.
