yes, but it isn't as hard as you're thinking it is.

BC_DOCROOT exists for the permissions system, which relies on request uri to
determine if the page can be allowed to execute. so it makes sense to
abstract it there, which it is (thus, BC_DOCROOT in defined_constants.conf
and file_permissions.conf.

there are html links in .phtml files in the modules and master templates,
which reference href="/ and src="/resources/

so you can grep those very easily, and you'll have a pretty install in a
subdirectory. everything else should function fine.

yeah. really the best thing to do is run a virtualhost, because it makes all
of those installation hassles go away. it's also clean, because you can test
binarycloud in a separate tree from your other stuff - play with the
prepends, break stuff, etc.
