[support] Double site

[Christopher M. Jones]

What will happen is: you will install your sites, set each one up to use 
it's own database, or prefix within the same database. For each site you 
will choose your template, available to each because it's located in 
sites/all/themes. Now each site looks the same. But you'll find that 
when you set up your menu in one, it won't appear in any of the others. 
Different databases, you see.
