 Replying to [comment:7 westi]:
 > I'm not convinced by the naming or use of the WP_ADMIN_URL define.
 The name could be changed to anything else...


 > I don't think we should need code to support this.
 It's only one constant, accessed in three places. (And also a redirect, in
 my patch, though that isn't vital.)[[BR]]
 Does that cause any problems? It seems (to me) so trivial, and it reduces
 the code needed to do this by such a huge amount in both extent and
 complexity.[[BR]]
 So far as I can see it causes no problems for standard installations -
 does it?

 I'm puzzled as to why there is any objection to such a small amount of
 code... :-)

 > We should ensure that this can be done with a htaccess file stanza and
 some plugin filtering of generated urls.
 Well, it ''can'' - but as you see from my code above, it's quite complex
 when it ''could'' be quite simple.
