I've been meaning to add some plugin hooks for this, so I did.  Here's
the list of filters:

theme_root - The base theme directory. Default:
ABSPATH/wp-content/themes

theme_root_uri - The base theme uri. Default: siteurl/wp-content/themes

stylesheet_directory - The directory containing the active stylesheet.
Default: theme_root/stylesheet-theme-name

stylesheet_directory_uri - The uri of the directory containing the
active stylesheet.  Default: theme_root_uri/stylesheet-theme-name

stylesheet_uri - The uri of the active stylesheet.  Default:
stylesheet_directory_uri/style.css

template_directory - The directory containing the active template.
Default: theme_root/template-theme-name

template_directory_uri - The uri of the directory containing the active
template.  Default: theme_root_uri/template-theme-name

To relocate from wp-contet/themes/ to /themes/,  hook into the
theme_root and theme_root_uri filters.  Changes made to those will be
picked up by the stylesheets and templates.
