 Fatal errors in plugins make your entire blog unusable.  If someone is
 editing or activating a plugin through WordPress and this happens, they
 might not know what to do (FTP in and delete or rename the plugin file).

 We should, upon plugin load (and maybe in-WP plugin editing), load the
 plugin into a sandbox environment, with actual plugin activation as a
 shutdown hook.  If the plugin throws fatal errors, it won't get activated.
