Yup, that's exactly what I want to achieve. Cool!

In my config, SCRIPT_FILENAME is set to 
/path/to/wordpress/$fastcgi_script_name. I didn't test out by changing it 
to $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name, will do once I get back to that 
machine.

Why would changing SCRIPT_FILENAME to the latter make a difference btw? My 
understanding is that $document_root points to the directive root of the 
current request, shouldn't that be /path/to/wordpress anyways? Or am I 
missing something?
