[development] Distilling distributions from configured sites.

[Michelle Cox]

Ah, I like that. I do have a few modules / themes that I want on every site 
I put in my multi site so I currently have those off the Drupal root. This 
is a nice alternative. I still would put most of my modules and themes under 
sites/domain/, though, as it keeps everything for that site in one spot. 
This is especially important because I have a tendency to muck around a bit 
with themes and not rename them... Keeps the changes to one site. ;)
