Try this:

        ## Regular PHP processing.
        location ~ ^(?<script>.+\.php)(?<path_info>.*)$ {
            include fastcgi.conf;
            ## The fastcgi_params must be redefined from the ones
            ## given in fastcgi.conf. No longer standard names
            ## but arbitrary: named patterns in regex.
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$script;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $script;
            fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
            ## Passing the request upstream to the FastCGI
            ## listener.
            fastcgi_pass phpcgi;
        }

Combined with:

        location / {
           try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
        }

Of course you have to fill in the details on static file handling,
blocking the readme.html file, etc.
