Virtual Host Filter

From http://groups.google.com/group/cherrypy-users/browse_thread/thread/f393540fe278e54d:

For various reasons I need several domains to point to different parts of a
single website structure as well as to their own "homepage"   EG

http://www.mydom1.com  ->  root
http://www.mydom2.com  ->  root/mydom2/
http://www.mydom3.com  ->  root/mydom3/
http://www.mydom4.com  ->  under construction page

but also to have  http://www.mydom1.com/mydom2/  etc to be valid pages in
their own right.
