Comment (by Otto42):

 Good idea. The problem is that the wp-db.php file loads way before
 pluggable or plugins or even the theme files. It's one of the very first
 files to load.

 Hacking your code code is an obvious way to do it, of course. Unpleasant,
 but there you go.

 Another not-so-obvious way is to copy the wp-db.php file to wp-
 content/db.php and hack it there instead. When Wordpress sees a db.php
 file in wp-content, it uses it instead of wp-db.php. The idea there seems
 to be to allow people to replace the DB code with other code entirely,
 perhaps to support other databases than mySQL.

 But that's just ways to do it right now, of course.
