[drupal-devel] subsite - sharing codebase - doesn't work as expected

I worry about this. "DocumentRoot" is the name of an Apache directive. The 
only other place we mention some fort of that in the INSTALL.txt is:

    This will create a new directory drupal-x.x.x/ containing all
    Drupal files and directories. Move the contents of that directory
    into a directory within your web server's document root or your
    public HTML directory:

In this paragraph, "document root" == "Apache DocumentRoot". It does not 
necessarily equate to "Drupal installation directory" or even a "public 
HTML directory."

Using "document root" would confuse issues, as "Drupal installation 
directory" doesn't NECESSARILY equate to the "document root" phrase we, or 
Apache, has already established.
