Comment (by scribu):

 For the record, WP-CLI has the [http://wp-cli.org/commands/core/multisite-
 install/ wp core multisite-install] command, which installs multisite from
 scratch.

 It relies on various ugly hacks, such as:

 1. [https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/598/files#diff-
 d5c3b8c65ee5ccc5dd15286817c05a2cR462 faking the `$current_site` and
 `$current_blog` globals]
 2. [https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/598/files#diff-
 97e24ceb3b4ab63c888f11417f6f356fR199 duplicating code from
 `populate_network()`]
