[Laszlo-dev] SOLO DHTML deployment

[P T Withington]

Uh, I still don't get it.

You need a toe-hold to get embed.js, so that has to be someplace  
fixed.  The LFC can be in the same place.  Then you load the app, and  
you can use the app URL to find any relative resources, right?

It would be really great if you could move your SOLO deployment  
anywhere in your web server without having to edit the deployment to  
tell it where it is.  I.e., if everything could be either at fixed  
point from your web server root or relative to the app.
