Comment:

 Here are the pieces to making Multisite work in a subdirectory:

 1) load files or register external in a subdirectory - let's say
 "wordpress"[[BR]]
 2) move index.php to DOCUMENT_ROOT[[BR]]
 3) move wp-config.php to DOCUMENT_ROOT[[BR]]
 4) edit .htaccess to internal-redirect ABSPATH files to the proper place

 {{{
 RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) /wordpress/$2 [L]
 RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ /wordpress/$2 [L]
 }}}

 5) Set define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR' ) if it is different that ABSPATH (if
 WordPress is in a subdir, it is)[[BR]]
 6) Edit index.php to point at /wordpress/index.php instead of ./index.php

 items # 1-4 have to happen manually[[BR]]
 items # 5-6 can happen automagically in my patch (attaching)
