 * I am currently working on two plugins. One is intended for public use and the
   other is will be a private member plugin built on top of the public one with 
   extra features.
 * I would like to my plugins to check to see if either of the other plugin is currently
   activated, if so do not allow the plugin to be activated until the other is deactivated.
 * Initially, I was thinking of setting an option which I could check in the activation
   hook. At that point I am not sure how to stop the activation of the plugin if
   the option has not been reset.
 * If there is a better or easier way, I am open to suggestions.
