Comment (by jeichorn):

 There are a couple of things going on.

 The first is that every config constant is user definable except for
 ABSPATH


 The second was, the plugin dir was just an example of the problems (and
 you are correct that setting WP_CONTENT_DIR should fix that).

 Looking at my notes more, the unsolvable problem is loading wp-config.php

 In our case wp-load.php lives in /wordpress/wp-load.php
 The wp-config.php lives in /username/current/wp-config.php
 wp-load.php tries to load wp-config using ABSPATH and fails.

 It might be slightly better (some symlinks aren't required) to make the
 location of wp-config.php an overridable constant rather then making
 ABSPATH, but thats a more complicated solution
