[wp-hackers] Blank index.php in wp-content/plugins

[Ozh]

This is an "old" problem, which is even broader: PHP files in 
/wp-content/plugins/ take over their /wp-admin/ homonyms (ie a blank 
themes.php in the plugins directory will take over the "Presentation" 
page, and so on).

I proposed a fix & patch [1] to this 6 months ago, but it didn't seem to 
raise any interest.
