 * I’m developing a plugin that (for now) runs from files both in the plugin folder
   and a child theme. I’ve tried to include the child theme folder (as a separate
   zip to extract to wp-content/themes) within the plugin zip file but WP pukes 
   when the plugin is installed.
    How do I get my child theme to the /themes/my_child_theme
   folder on installation of the plugin? OR Will WP run the child theme files FROM
   the plugin folder?
 * I’ve read all I can read from the plugin codex pages…
 * ….need some guidance.
