 Replying to [comment:2 filosofo]:
 > But it seems that, like plugins, themes that need flushed rules should
 handle it themselves.
 Unfortunately, there's no activation hook for them to do so. (For example
 P2 uses an option to store whether rules have been flushed.) I suggested
 this in response to a question for how to handle things that add rewrite
 rules...

 I don't think this patch will work, though, because the new theme isn't
 included on that pageload so the old rules will still be regenerated.
 Sounds to me that to do an activation hook for themes, we need to add an
 autoloaded option to keep track.
