Comment (by DD32):

 > The Request in Question is 'error_scrape'. I can not find a clear
 description what this means and for what the code is intended for.

 It if for after a failed activation, To display the errors produced to the
 web browser.

 > Anyway, I adopt the criticism in this patch partly: It is simply unclear
 what should happen here. Is the Plugin Activated anyway afterwards or is
 this a Test _only_?

 It is a re-creation of a activation failure, with the intent to display
 the error to the browser.

 > What about creating an additional Testdrive Process that is run only on
 Activation?

 This happens, If upon activation, A error occurs, Then the plugin will not
 be activated, Instead, It'll direct back to the plugins page, an an iframe
 with error_scrape will load up.
