[development] Defining additional search paths for modules?

[Matt Chapman]

I would go low-tech and just create symlinks to sites/all/modules-advanced
in each of the desired sites/sitename/modules . For mor etech, maybe write a
shell script to add & remove these links automatically from a config file,
if frequent maintenance is required.
