 First of all, apologies if this has been covered already but I can't find
 anything after searching MU Trac.

 If a WPMU-compatible plugin is uploaded into the `wp-content/mu-plugins`
 directory and the main plugin file is contained within its own sub
 directory (eg. `myplugin/myplugin.php`), then the plugin will not be
 recognised nor auto-activated.

 Background: complex plugins are contained within their own directory for
 better file organisation, and most (if not all) plugins in the new
 [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ WordPress.org Plugins Directory] are
 contained within their own directory in order to accomodate the
 `readme.txt` file.

 It would be ideal if plugins which use such a structure are recognised
 when they're used as mu-plugins.

 WPMU version 1.2.1.
