Admin functions loaded after plugins

The new functions to allow plugins to hook into the menu fail to work as stated because plugins are loaded fairly early on and are processed before admin-functions.php is included.

MooKitty proposed this solution for dealing with it in a plugin, but it should be fixed in Wordpress so that a nasty hack like this isn't required.

Adds the menu item
if ( ! function_exists( 'add_location_menu' ) ) {

function add_location_menu()
{

add_options_page(('Locations'), ('Edit Geo Info'), 5, 'lm.php');

}

} else {

$LM_is_loaded = TRUE;

}
add_action('admin_menu', 'add_location_menu');

if ( $LM_is_loaded ) :
?>
<div class="wrap">
<h2>Location Manager</h2>

</div>
<?php endif;
?>
