 Replying to [comment:2 scribu]:
 > Another thing to note is that activation hooks won't work with sym-
 linked directories.

 Have to disagree:

 {{{
 <?php
 /*
 Plugin Name: Test Plugin
 Description: Test Plugin
 Version: 1.0
 */

 function test_activate()
 {
         wp_die("Activation hook");
 }

 function test_deactivate()
 {
         wp_die("Deactivation hook");
 }

 add_action('activate_test.php', 'test_activate');
 add_action('deactivate_test.php', 'test_deactivate');
 }}}

 Works fine.

 {{{
 # pwd
 /home/user1/htdocs/wp-content/plugins
 # ls -la test.php
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 user1 37 2010-10-16 15:59 test.php -> /var/www/em-stuff
 /wp-plugins/test.php
 }}}
