Actually, that wasn't the particular testing case I was thinking of, but the
point is there are -lots- of things that turn out to be good reasons for running
an app on a sub-URL. Yes, there are workaround for each individual case, but
they're all workarounds.

Given how little more effort it is, doing things properly in the first place
seems like a much better idea to me.
