 In WPMU 1.2.5a...

 I dropped the whole eventcalendar3 folder into the plugins directory, and
 with Site Admin->Options->Plugins Enabled, I am able to Activate and
 Deactivate the plugin individually as required on each blog.

 Now I understand that if you put a plugin in the mu-plugins directory, it
 will auto-activate and you will not see the PLUGINS menu appear on the
 admin screen. BUT... if you drop the whole eventcalendar3 folder into the
 mu-plugins directory, it does not recognize the plugin at all and does not
 auto-activate. You need to take everything out of the eventcalendar3
 folder, and put it directly into the mu-plugins directory, and then it
 will work.

 The only problem with this, is that if you need to remove a plugin, you
 now have your mu-plugins directory full of a bunch of files, and you don't
 know which ones go with each plugin.

 Since the plugins folder can recognize a plugin in it's sub-folder, I
 would think that the expected behaviour of the mu-plugins directory should
 be the same.
