 A lot of plugins call wp-config.php directly.  In order to more actively
 discourage this practice, this patch adds a "deprecated" call within the
 {{{if( !defined('ABSPATH'))}}}.

 I define "wp-load.php" as the alternate, even though that's not the ideal
 solution.  It's still better than calling wp-config.php.  The $file string
 I pass is designed to fit within the message string from the
 _deprecated_file function.
