 I run my sites on my own dedicated box.  I have about 60 WordPress
 installs running on the site and about 2 years ago I slowly started
 migrating all of the sites into a multi-tenant install.  It has been
 working really, really well, and has made updating the sites a lot easier,
 etc.  I've also been doing the same thing by symlinking plugin directories
 inside the wp-content/plugins directory.  However, ideally, I'd like to be
 able to add a line to the wp-config file with a secondary location of
 plugins that I could universally install on my sites.  Then I wouldn't
 need to create the symlinked folders on a site by site basis.  It would
 also add the ability to easily add a new plugin to all 60 sites without
 much fuss.  I don't want to move the location of my plugins folder.  I
 want to add a secondary location, so I can have plugins installed still in
 wp-content/plugins but also pull from another area.  An internal library
 of sorts.
