 Replying to [comment:4 arickmann]:
 > I agree that it should be a hook, but I was wary about including a
 plugin file that is not active; there could be a number of reasons why it
 isn't active.

 Thats true, I guess if WP was to only load what it needs to (ie. no other
 plugins, and limited functions) when uninstalling a deactivated plugin it
 might work.. But if the user wants to uninstall the plugin because its
 corrupt, or malicious, then idealy the user will not want WP to load the
 plugin.
