Just a quick correction: it doesn't automatically generate hooks based 
on all active plugins. It takes the '?page=pluginname.php' from the 
query string and munges together a hook tag (e.g. 
'options_page_pluginname') to see if anyone's hooked into that tag. If 
not, it proceeds with the old method.
