Comment (by flixos90):

 I just noticed kind of a blocker for this one. :(

 The `$pagenow` global is set in `wp-includes/vars.php`, so the code in
 there would need to be adjusted to support custom administration panels as
 well. At first I thought the action `admin_setup` could be moved in there,
 but the file is loaded before all regular plugins.

 Maybe we can find a way to adjust the way this file is handled, also
 considering that it is rather messy. Outsourcing parts of it into real
 functions would be a good first step.
