I used to add links to the plugin description for stuff like
initializing tables. Now I wonder if we should have an Uninstall
(remove tables/options and then deactivate [and delete?] the plugin)
button beside the Deactivate button, for plugins that are activated
and have registered an uninstall function:

add_action("uninstall-myplugin", 'myplugin_uninstall');
