MT4: nearly there

Tried again with my bi-weekly MT4 upgrade attempt. We're nearly there now, I reckon.

Simply Threaded was giving me some problems and not showing up in Smarty, but it turned out there had been a stealthy upgrade to the plug-in that I hadn't noticed that overcame the problem. I had to amend the archive templates to switch from the old MT3.35-compatible <MTRepliedComment> tag to the MT 4.0-native <MTIfCommentParent><MTCommentParent> tags, but that's a couple of seconds' work so not too big a problem.

More of a problem is MT Media Manager, which is choking quite a bit and giving me odd errors preventing me from rebuilding my index pages. Judging the Major Domo forums, other people have been having similar problems, so I'm hoping it'll get fixed in a future beta.

That just leaves MT Notifier as the last major stumbling block for the full MT4 upgrade (I can probably do without MT-Blogroll). Hopefully, that'll be happening soon. But we're nearly there.
