Updating activating/deactivating extensions mechanism based on what Kathy and Dr. Bainbridge devised. Previously, the extension would get renamed to extension.inactive. But that had issues on svn update of pulling the extension again and with active name. Not being svn exports has its own disadvantages of not being able to modify code and commit locally and being kept up to date of mods. The solution is to create a flag file called extension.inactive at the same level as the extension folder, so ext/extension.inactive.
