This might be a better version than mine.  As best I see it I would  
have to recursively view the entire plugins directory looking for  
strider_core files though, and as you suggest the version would have  
to be in the filename.  Once it's found once I could set a $global or  
CONSTANT so I don't re-search for each plugin.

Not sure if this is better or worse than what I've figured out.  Worth  
keeping in mind if there are problems with what I've got working.  My  
main concern is the late launching of those plugins in the other  
system (on plugins_loaded).
