If this is not already there as a feature request, I think it would be a
good request.

One comment about this existing patch: It does not do everything one might
want. In *general*, it will remove the unwanted part of the URL. However,
functions like absolute_url() do not give the values you would want. (That
*may* be the only problem, and maybe a small patch to absolute_url is all
that is needed).

Either way, a solid way to host multiple sites out of one Zope would be an
excellent thing.
