Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 Replying to [comment:42 scribu]:
 > Re [attachment:symlinked_plugins.diff]: the check you added to
 plugin_url() should be moved to plugin_basename(), since that's the more
 general function (and also the one that doesn't have a filter).

 Originally I didn't put in `plugin_basename()` because it looked like that
 would not have worked but I just tested and you are correct, it works. I
 also tested it with a symlinked plugin where the virtual directory was
 different than the real directory and it still worked correctly, i.e. `my-
 plugin-dev/my-plugin.php` vs. `my-plugin/my-plugin.php`:

 {{{
 Virtual Path => /Users/my-user/Site/my-site/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin-
 dev/my-plugin.php
 Real Path    => /Users/my-user/Plugins/my-plugin/my-plugin.php
 }}}

 Attached is a new patch with the check moved to `plugins_url()`.
