 My plugin, [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-html-compression/ WP-
 HTML-Compression] includes another of my plugins,
 [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/absolute-to-relative-urls/ Absolute-
 to-Relative-URLs] from /wp-content/plugins/wp-html-compression/external/
 after first checking if it already exists.

 The problem is that nested plugin has a WordPress header which leads to
 the activation link being:

 /wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=wp-html-
 compression%2Fexternal%2Fabsolute-to-relative-urls.php&_wpnonce=...

 and results in a "The plugin does not have a valid header" error.

 A temporary solution is to remove the header from the nested plugin.
