You are better off writing something to change all of the code (search/replace) and make it all relative (site independent). Either that, or just put it where it likes to be. If you have it setup as a vhost or the site is on its own, you can just do a redirect into the /ao/ directory, and it may be ok. Rewrites, in my professional opinion, are not the 'correct' way to do this. Although others may not agree, rewrites are bandaids in a lot of scenarios. Good ones, but nonetheless a bandaid.

What exactly is the problem you are trying to solve? Is it absolute links in your application? What exactly do the links look like? What do you get in the error and access log when you try to run it?
