The Views UI message always presents a message that says "If you install the advanced help module from http://drupal.org/project/advanced_help ..." even if the Advanced Help module is already present, but just not enabled.

It will usually be in the system table with status==0, so we should be able to toggle the message to the user to suggest simply enabling it, rather then linking them to a page to download it again.

What's the best way to tell if a module is present but not enabled? You can check the system table but that won't ensure the module is actually there. That means you probably have to stat the .module file to ensure a file is there.

per IRC discussion, a revised patch that stats the file to make sure the module is really present.
