A general problem with the current admin site. It silently fails where

In SG0 you can't login without it. What you _can_ do however is 'mount'
the admin site under a non-SG0 site.
Example: site in domain www.example.com, sg1.
You'ld have a host record
(host = www.example.com, prefix='', rootpage = <some id>, sg = 1,
style = <whatever>),
and a host record
(host = www.example.com, prefix='/admin', rootpage = <id of admin rootpage>,
sg = 1, style = <style of admin site>)
The admin root page and style would remain in SG0. People can then log
in to http://www.example.com/admin/ and find 'their own' admin site.
