 We have two places to store templates (my-templates and bb-templates) and
 two places to store plugins (my-plugins and bb-plugins).

 When we store the active theme in the db, we store it's absolute path so
 that we know which of those two places to look in.

 When we store active plugins in the db, we store relative paths and so
 have to have an order of precedence.

 Storing absolute paths in the database is asking for trouble.  I think
 it'd be a lot less confusing if we stored active themes as my-
 templates/theme or bb-templates/kakume and active plugins as my-
 plugins/mine.php and bb-plugins/akismet.php.

 We could translate on the fly taking into account BBTHEMEDIR and
 BBPLUGINDIR.
