Comment (by sivel):

 I have been helping someone for the past hour or so on IRC trying to
 install WordPress Mu in a subdirectory of a WordPress install.

 On a side note I have had a staging and a dev site installed as
 subdirectories of another install since 2.3.  I never ran into this issue
 because I have only been doing upgrades and not new installs since 2.6.

 I'm not sure in general that there would be a real use-case for supporting
 this...but as I see it, if a user like the one I am helping wanted to do
 it for whatever reason it makes it very difficult unless you create the
 configuration manually from the sample.
