Comment:

 I keep getting bit by this and end up patching individual plugin (Raw HTML
 Pro, Advanced Custom Fields, More Fields, Post Page Association, etc.)
 They end up generating bad paths to CSS and JS — the <link> and <script>
 tags have the filesystem path embedded in them.

 It would be nice if WordPress' plugins_url() did the right thing out of
 the box.

 There are other complaints about symlinked plugins:

 * http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16199

 I urged you to seriously consider fixing this for 3.3.x or 3.4.
