Thanks, Sean... I actually thought of that and then I thought, "No, it couldn't be that simple." So, instead of trying it, I just typed that looooong explanation and question.
Now, I've just got to rewrite the paths for images and components. Components paths are a pain that way, with their dot notation. But, I just create two variables: #application.activeWebroot# #application.componentDirectory# Satisfies image and component paths, at least. Who know what else I'll run into... Now, to rewrite all the paths in the entire site. Sigh... Thanks!
