Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 Replying to [comment:36 MikeSchinkel]:
 > 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]​.

 Actually I'm an idiot. Hooks won't work.  Ugh.  See
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/22802/make-plugins-
 symlinkable.diff make-plugins-symlinkable.diff​] instead.
