MU 2.9 beta

Donncha wrote yesterday that he was rolling WordPress 2.9 into WordPress MU trunk. In Donncha’s post he notes that to use the beta you may want to manually create the commentmeta table for each blog before doing the upgrade.

Triple J wrote a quick and dirty plugin for it. I revised it a bit today. Notes on usage are at the top of the file. Once the plugin has created to tables you can remove the file. JJJ add commentmeta table (277)
