It will not be enough... Currently BACK_PATH must be set for
init.php to work. I actually never understood it. It is always
possible to find the back path. It should be perfectly traceable
from the current URL. If URL looks like
/typo3/extkey/module1/whateverelse/index.php, nothing prevents TYPO3
from calculating the back path. Patch should take TYPO3_mainDir into
account.

Even now BACK_PATH should not be necessary because we have
t3lib_div::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_SITE_URL').

Probably BACK_PATH is just a relic from old good times.
