I'm not sure it's a good idea to let a plugin include 'stdconfig.php'.

John, could you perhaps expand a bit on your problem?

I've previously had the problem that what I really want to do is a
search-and-replace in a variable defined by stdconfig.php. The quick hack
is to define the variable myself (before stdconfig.php is invoked), and
set it accordingly. The drawback with this is that you may have to update
your plugin when stdconfig.php makes a tiny change to that variable. Not
to mention that I usually just want to change a small bit, and it's often
a variable with a long string.
