 OK, here's a crazy idea, related to #2377 (deactivate plugins on
 upgrade)...  if we don't deactivate plugins on upgrade, we should have
 hooks in the upgrade process that would allow a plugin to
 deactivate/reactivate and even upgrade itself if it needs to.

 Or if we keep the deactivate/reactivate on upgrade (in #2377), there
 should be a hook for "reactivate".

 Regardless, I think plugins should have the ability to know when you've
 upgraded without having to compare the version in the 'init' hook on every
 page load.  Especially if there is a compat problem with the plugin, the
 plugin could notify you during the upgrade process before you try to hit
 the site and watch the plugin throw PHP or MySQL errors.

 Just the start of an idea, opinions wanted...
