We recently discussed some methods at the WordPress Stack Exchange: 
[ http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15202/plugins-in-symlinked-directories 
]. When your plugin file is included, the path to the include file exists in 
the variable $plugin (or $mu_plugin or $network_plugin). You can save this 
in your own global variable to use it later in plugin_dir_url() and related 
functions.

$monkeyman_Rewrite_Analyzer_file = __FILE__;
if ( isset( $mu_plugin ) ) {
    $monkeyman_Rewrite_Analyzer_file = $mu_plugin;
}
if ( isset( $network_plugin ) ) {
    $monkeyman_Rewrite_Analyzer_file = $network_plugin;
}
if ( isset( $plugin ) ) {
    $monkeyman_Rewrite_Analyzer_file = $plugin;
}

Other suggestions are of course welcome - here and on the WPSE question!
