Hmm. This appears to make a ridiculous amount of sense. ;-)

Is it impossible to provide a fully qualified path to try_files? I can't do
something like:

  root  /srv/example.com/root;
  try_files /srv/example.com/root$uri
            /index.php?q=$request_uri;

Will that check for /srv/example.com/root/srv/example.com/root$uri ?

How about $document_root in try_files?

  root  /srv/example.com/root;
  set  $wordpress_root  /srv/wordpress/root;
  try_files
    $document_root$uri $document_root$uri/
    $wordpress_root$uri $wordpress_root$uri/
    /index.php?q=$request_uri;

(I'll test the patch you posted regardless of these questions.)

Thanks,

- Jeff
