Comment:

 We have API for this.  You're not supposed to use the hooks directly.

 {{{
 register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'your_activation_function');
 }}}

 By using {{{__FILE__}}}, you ensure that it will work no matter what name
 is given to the plugin.

 Please re-open if this doesn't address your concern.
