Running multiple site from one binary install

[Olivier Mehani]

Hi again,

I am currently running my MG instance in the user_dev mode, where all 
the media data is co-located with the binaries and the rest of the 
software install.

I've never been able to work out a way to separate those. Essentially, 
something like:
* /opt/mediagoblin <- all the software, lib and code
* /srv/site <- custom ini files, database, and media

I've been playing around a lot with system files and config, but I've 
never managed to start MG in a way that's completely independent from 
where the software is installed. I suspect there is something to do with 
the %(here) template variable in a few spots in the config, but have not 
manage to work out how to set it to point somewhere else.

With this setup, this would also allow me to run multiple sites from a 
single install, say, by dropping a different config and data dirs in 
/srv/site2.

Any suggestion as to how to do this? Is it doable at all?
