   Well, let's me clarify a bit. PCGI_ROOT is the folder (or other object)
in Zope which will serve your requests. In your situation it is folder
"cws" in root folder.

   PCGI_SetEnv is *only an example* of how to set per-request environment
variable. Whatever variable you'll use and what value to set - it is up to
your configuration. In my example it is variable SiteRootPATH.

   This variable only works with SiteAccess. I use SiteAccess pretty
happily, and it solves all my virtual hosting needs, including rewriting of
BASE, absolute_url, etc.

   Without SiteAccess you'll get exactly what you get - additional path
components.
