    Fix autogen of wwwroot to detect symbolic links correctly
    
    Test by appending each directory in PHP_SELF to DOCUMENT_ROOT
    when the realpath of that is the same as dirname(__FILE__) then
    stop processing.
    
    For most users there is little performance hit, only a few will
    have more than say two levels above DOCUMENT_ROOT
    
    If nothing can be autoconfigured, use a default of root (ie no
    path)

Title:
  autogen of wwwroot doesn't work when htdocs is linked to www directory

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In my situation, I have a git directory containing the mahara files.
  Instead of editing apache configs to make a site I just linked it (ln
  -s) to the /var/www directory.

  my git directory is /home/hugh/src/mahara/mahara
  the htdocs directory is linked to /var/www/mahara
  the autogen of wwwroot is http://localhost/gh/src/mahara/mahara/htdocs

  Cheers,

  Hugh
