[wp-hackers] "Action" links for plugins (was Plugin Settings Menu Location)

[Stephen Rider]

I will break this into a couple pieces and put them on Trac (as  
separate tickets).  Some I think I can handle, some may be beyond me.

I think the setup and uninstall links are one ticket, add_submenu_page  
mod is another.
