Actually, no :-)

According to our own API (which I myself had to check because I had
already forgotten :-)), PluginBase::register() is used every time the
plugin is initialized and it is the right place to query things like
blog settings or parameters. That's because when the constructor of
the plugin is called, we still don't have things like a BlogInfo or
UserInfo object.

The PluginBase::install() method is the one you should use to do
things that should be done only once like initializing database
tables.

More info below :-)

This is how it should work, but it could be that we've mixed up these
two methods in some plugins...
