Can somebody give this wallpaper the transparent status bar treatment (or post a link to a how-to)?

Well your pic isn't easy but this is what I got. I had to make it a bit darker overall so that it would work. You will still be able to see the status bar in the sun tough. Made the swiss one transparent ones as well (work both my iPhone 5).
The way to do it is:
1.Create a white wallpaper and put in on your home screen
2.Make a screen-shot of the white wallpaper on an almost empty home screen
3.Use the stamp tool to get rid of the app as well as the status bar items. You also have to remove the dock and the gradient down there.
4.Invert colors
^You only have to do this once. You end up with a template you can reuse for whatever pic you like. (Attached mine)
5.Insert the pic you want to modify in a
new layer
6.Use your template layer with color dodge on the new one
7.Check if it worked by creating a black rectangle (40x640px) with 60% opacity and lay it over the bright portion (also in a new layer, you might need to remove this before exporting). This is how it will look on your phone.
8.Fine-tuning.
9.Profit?!??
