Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 With the patch, the path used to access wp-admin can be changed as follows
 :

 '''in wp-config.php'''
 {{{
 define('WP_ADMIN_URL', 'admin');
 define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
 }}}

 '''in .htaccess'''
 {{{
 RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-admin/$1 -f [OR]
 RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-admin/$1 -d
 RewriteRule admin/(.*)$ wp-admin/$1
 }}}

 It would be possible to simplify this further, but this is just a first
 run. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
