Comment (by masquerade):

 Personally, I think that a plugin author should know the name of the file
 they're working with. get_plugininfo('whatevvv',
 'myplugindir/mymainpluginfile.php'); is not hard to type. There's no need
 for fancy lookups and all that crap from a subplugin file. Or, here's a
 better idea, in your base plugin file, define myplugin_getinfo($info) {
 return get_pluginfo($info, !__FILE!__); }. I see no point in a crappy
 implementation to work around lazy plugin developers.
