This works very well -- I use it to "highjack" control based on the
requested URL as well.

And because template_redirect is (ab)used like this due to the lack of
a better option, I've patched the non-template case to call the action
hooks as well.  Otherwise many plugins won't work in an embedded WP
installation.

But maybe there should be a common action hook and a private one for
each branch?  But template_redirect probably should become the common
one in that case, to preserve current functionality of plugins.

Best regards,
