 After theme activation, we can reliably test for wp_head() and wp_footer()
 with an HTTP call to the front page.

 We should do that and check for two things:

  1. That wp_head() and wp_footer() are present in the theme.

  2. That they are in the correct location, immediately before </head> and
 </body>.

 Then throw a warning that the theme may not function properly (with a link
 to a Codex page?) because it is not using the API correctly.

 Is this core material?
