[development] htaccess help

[Randy Fay]

If you have control of the apache configuration, please consider just
changing where the sitename points to. That's a much more obvious way to
accomplish this.  Point it into the subdirectory. Doing redirects in the
htaccess is not really the place to do it.

On debian/ubuntu, this would usually be done in the
/etc/apache2/sites-available. There are similar ways of doing it anywhere
Apache is installed.
