Description
Currently, If after connecting to the FTP server, WordPress cannot locate a Directory it needs, It'll simply error out, Requiring the user to define a few constants.
Instead, If the directories cannot be located, a message should be shown requesting the path of the directory. This should be shown along side the login credentials for future access attempts.
Fool-proofing will be required to prevent users entering the incorrect path, For example, Writing a file to the directory needed, and checking from within PHP that the file exists with the correct content.

I would just like to bump this up the list. I'm configuring a new web server for a large group of folks and the only way this feature of wordpress will work for us is if we can have the users specify where wordpress lives.

Lacking of traction, and we would be better off enhancing WordPress to handle all cases (as we have improved in the last 2 years).
In the event that someone writes a patch which has a good UX flow to it, please re-open for a re-consideration, however, due to the direction that upgrades are likely to head in the future, I can't see it being a consistent experience.
There are constants available at present for those affected by any detection bugs.
Moving to future release pending patch & 2nd-opinion
still not 100% sure on fool proofing it..
