I think the main issue is working out how to sandbox them. I'd 
personally be in favour of having an external PHP file, which loads the 
specified plugin and nothing else. We then run `file_get_contents` to 
get each one and check if the output is empty. If not, we deactivate it 
and add a notice to the page.

I personally see no flaw :)
Thanks,
Ryan.
