 failed to get any feedback on this from wp-hackers, posting anyway:
  * filter {{{get_plugin_data}}}: allows plugging functions that handle
 additional plugin metadata
  * action {{{before_activate_$plugin}}}: allows the plugin to do some
 stuff before being activated, and refuse activation if it doesn't like
 something

 2nd opinion needed on the first point: perhaps a more efficient/extensible
 rewrite of get_plugin_data would also be appropriate (preg_match is not
 really needed, neither is reading beyond the end of the first comment
 block; see, some people have a nasty habit: they put everything about
 their plugin in one huge file)
