 * `wp-admin` unlike other WordPress sub-directories, such as `wp-content` and (
   sort of, `wp-includes`) is hard-coded everywhere, so you would need to use `sed`
   or some other such tool and recursively replace throughout WordPress core files
   every instance with the directory name you want.

 * You can install [this](http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/page-links-to/) plugin
   which allows you to create a blank page, and then when the user clicks on that
   link have it redirect them to whatever URL you specify. It’s not as proper as
   I’d like, but a clean, relatively simple solution if you’re not a programmer.
