A good initial batch at least. I tried installing ParserFunctions (probably
one of our most crucial), but got 500 errors. Where does this log to? Or
can we expose those errors to the web? (display_errors in LocalSettings
didn't seem to do the trick).

The config is swapped, and various maintenance scripts are running.
Will update when everything's sorted.

Question: how would I run command line scripts with hhvm? I figured it
might be nice to run some of our maintenance scripts with it but the
obvious `hhvm path/to/script.php` didn't seem to work (just hung with
no output).
