Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 probably something like this...

 in wp-load.php:

 if no config file, then define(WP_CONFIG_CHECK) (or maybe WP_INSTALLING,
 if that works out of the box), then include wp-settings

 in wp-settings.php:

 if defined WP_CONFIG_CHECK, return once the needed functions are defined

 That way, there wouldn't be two separate checks for the mysql extension in
 the code base -- one of which we're bound to forget about.
