Optionally, it should be possible to configure MW to use a different (absolute) URL path to load.php .

We need this for a WMF deployment, because we'd run load.php on bits and hence would have to hit something like http://bits.wikimedia.org/enwiki/load.php using $wgLoadPHPPathOrSomething = 'http://bits.wikimedia.org/enwiki';

A suitable default for this var would seem to be $wgScriptPath (technically by setting the var to null). Also, $wgScriptExtension should still be honored.
