 * Hi,
 * I am designing a template which on load should also activate 2 plugins. It’s 
   a special requirement for selected few users, and this method makes it very simple
   for them to get everything up and running from one screen.
 * My question is, how can I achieve that? That is, on theme activation, a plugin
   will also be activated…?
 * Thank you.
