It think he's looking for a 'just dump anywhere package' solution (so it
may be in root but also on a different level). In which case, URLs in CSS
stylesheets to images for instance are somewhat trickier. I'd say the most
flexible solution for that is to use a simple PHP file as CSS augmenting
the URL as needed.
