Comment:

 hughestm's approach won't work, because deleting super admins is currently
 not allowed.

 What we need to do is change:

 {{{
 if ( $id != '0' && $id != '1' ) {
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 if ( ! is_super_admin( $id ) ) {
 }}}

 Then hughestm can change site option admin_email to something else, demote
 user with id 0 or 1 to a normal user, and delete him as usual.

 This is not very straight forward process, so maybe it's better to allow
 deletion of super admins. The patch I attached does this. It really needs
 a sanity check.
