 The current confirmation message is just a Yes/No without any information
 about what's happening.  Trying to write code that would tell the user
 exactly what's happening in this dialog would be expensive especially
 considering that this dialog will only rarely be seen.

 We can, however, give some context.

 The attached includes admin-header.php (and admin-footer.php) in the
 confirmation screen and tweaks the menu and submenu identifiers in a few
 files so that the confirmation is always displayed with the right menu
 highlighting and the right submenu.

 The patch calls a lot more code and a lot more hooks than the current
 dialog does, which may be something to think about with regard to
 security.
