[support] multisite OR many drupals

[Cary Gordon]

This will work. Remember to set .htaccess overrides for each directory  
in an apache conf file if you want to use clean URLs.

Generally, I use one codebase and mutltisite in this scenario, with  
separate subdirectories in the sites directory. You can put discrete  
themes, modules and files directories in each of those subdirectories.

What problem are you having with multisite?
