I think it'd be nice to have this as a GNU ELPA package.  But I guess
there's some questions as to how it should be installed in order to
avoid needing a ~/.emacs.d directory at all.

The "HOW DO I INSTALL IT?" section wasn't clear enough for me to know
how it's currently meant to be installed.  It says:

      Just including the two directories in a site-lisp directory is enough
    on my machine to recognize ~/.config/emacs/init.el and run it at the
    site start.

I'm glad it works for you, but I don't know what "a site-lisp
directory" is.  [ I can guess what you mean by "the two directories",
tho it is a bit vague.  ]

I wonder how/why it works for you, tho, because I don't see any code in
Emacs which will look at something named "site-start.d" by default.

Could it be that your site-start.d gets used by some code provided by
your distribution (e.g. I see some site-start.d directories used by
Debian's Emacs package)?

      Unfortunately, user-init-file will not be set, because I think it is
    hardcoded in C from an array of possibilities.

No, it's set in lisp/startup.el.
