WP 3.9 Ajax without loading Specific Plugins

// This is a combination of the ajax approach by raz ohad
// (see https://coderwall.com/p/of7y2q)
// and the wp-settings.php file after 'if ( SHORTINIT ) return false;'
//
// Update 27-04-2014
//  Fix for WP 3.9 Support

// I'm excluding specific plugins from loading when we loop
// through the plugin array returned by wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins().

//mimic the actuall admin-ajax
