Thanks. Problem is, this is an existing site that has been accreting 
cruft, hard-coded absolute links, and all sorts for some years. I guess 
I could choose a subfolder, do the tests, then copy the whole of the 
site into that folder and use VHM to make it the effective root - but 
there's a couple of hundred megabytes of stuff - is that a safe operation?
