[documentation] Sharing content/users between Drupal sites (was Re: multi site docs)

[Anisa]

Boris, your prejudices are showing, and they're pink, with flowery polka
dots.  The world is vast, wide, and there are many crazy places where the
future is not bryght indeed.  ;p

There were a few solutions for this using htaccess.  Take a turn on the
forums for clean urls and multi site, they're bound to pop up (I
specifically remember one for dealing with directories).  Also there as a
link in the handbook?

Perhaps we can turn this sage advice into:
Caution: Symlinks may mess up clean urls
?

Or perhaps I am reading this wrong, and actually, if you have a multi site
in a sub directory, Boris is suggesting that actually, Step 3 (the pointing
of domains) is not needed at all?

Anisa.
