the mechanism seems thought out for people that put everything (almost 
everything... I haven't seen someone retarded enough to also put images) 
in one gigantic file; otherwise, it is really YAFL (Yet Another Layer -

action hook lookup, just include it if possible; this is similar to the 
current behaviour for options pages

... or make sure the name is predictible (build $admin_page_hooks before 
loading l10n)
