Comment:

 One problem still exists. If you move wp-config.php out of web root, but
 also  [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory give
 WordPress it's own directory] then technically wp-config.php is now two
 levels below ABSPATH and WordPress can't find wp-config.php.

 I propose adding the following lines to wp-load.php between lines 33 and
 34
 {{{
 } elseif ( file_exists( dirname( dirname(ABSPATH) ) . '/wp-config.php' ) )
 {

         /** The config file resides two levels below ABSPATH */
         require_once( dirname( dirname(ABSPATH) ) . '/wp-config.php' );

 }}}
