[wp-hackers] Plugin dependency checking

[Stephen Rider]

Something you might try is make the plugin do nothing but hook a  
function to run at plugins_loaded.  Then in that function you check  
that the "master" plugin is running, and if it is, load the dependent  
stuff.

There are some limitation to this since "plugins_loaded" doesn't run  
immediately after plugins are loaded (a bug IMO).  for example, the  
"pluggable.php" file is loaded between plugins loading and the  
"plugins_loaded" hook firing.  Also I think some caching stuff happens  
in between.
