unfortunally there are many adjustments to convert old module for usage 
of dispatcher, so i fear that is not praticable.

Dmitry's catch is the best i can imagine - modify BACK_PATH in init, but 
i have to admit it's a hack.

The new kickstarter only makes dispatch modules, so we can hope that the 
old modules won't be used in future (4.4). And i see no problem to 
declare "Old modules are not compatible with alternative typo3-dir". As 
you anyways have to patch the source for this usage, you have to patch 
conf.php of old modules too.
