--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Because I am sharing a large repository of plugins between several WP
 installations, I defined WP_PLUGIN_URL and WPMU_PLUGIN_URL to point to a
 different host, say http://wpplugs.mydomain

 When a plugin author uses plugins_url() to get a link to a deeper
 component, say a css style, plugins_url() resolves the link by expanding
 the basename of that plugin/component, and attach it between WP_PLUGIN_URL
 and path.

 This algorithm is correct if plugin files live below Wordpress
 installation, *BUT IS INCORRECT* if plugin files live on different file
 system --- as intended by the explicit use of WP_PLUGIN_URL.
