 * In general, it’s a bad idea to require wp-load.php manually from a plugin.
 * Instead you should simply check for a $_GET variable and exit when done.
 * Here’s the patch: [http://gist.github.com/582573](http://gist.github.com/582573)
 * I wrote it because the plugin didn’t work when wp-content was moved to a different
   location.
