Changes (by MikeSchinkel):

 * version:  3.4.2 => trunk


Comment:

 New proposed approach:  Add two (2) hooks:  `'uninstall_plugin_file'` and
 `'activate_plugin_file'`.   It's too tiny additions to core that have no
 performance impact and neither could cause any compatibility issues.  See
 attached patch: [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/22802
 /plugin-file-hooks.diff plugin-file-hooks.diff]​.
