Comment (by sambauers):

 I think if plugin authors want to bypass the built-in API then they are
 kind of on their own. That wp-load.php file isn't going to help much as it
 can't be relied on to be set.

 I don't now why plugins would bypass the API to eventually load it. Why
 not just pass the AJAX through the API in the first place like DD32
 suggests.

 There is also nothing stopping plugin authors requiring setting a variable
 in their files that points to the WordPress root in the case where it
 can't be determined.
