Plugin 2.5-2.6: wp-content directory can be changed via WP_CONTENT_DIR  
AND WP_CONTENT_URL
Plugin 2.5-2.6: new WP_PLUGIN_DIR replaces PLUGINDIR

I wrote an article about this a little while back:
http://striderweb.com/nerdaphernalia/2008/09/hit-a-moving-target-in-your-wordpress-plugin/

In 2.7 we need information on the changed to Admin menus in 2.7.   
Also...

Plugin 2.6-2.7: new plugin_action_links_{$plugin} filter
Plugin 2.6-2.7: new after_plugin_row_{$plugin_file} filter
see: <http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7856> and <http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9124
