[support] theming primary links, or absolute paths when drupal is in a sub-directory

I'm still working on this, though I suspect from my reading that the
real solution lies in .htaccess rewrite rules.

I thought this:

RewriteRule ^/drupal//(.*) /$1 [L]

Would work -- take paths that have the double slash and bump them up a
level to the root of the site -- but it doesn't seem to be taking. For
bonus fun I tried quirky variations like ...

RewriteRule ^/drupal//(.*) /drupal/foo/$1 [L]

And didn't get anywhere either. Am I even making sense here?

Thanks,
amanda
