EidoGo installation does not behave well when not in the root directory

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a known thing, but basically I've
discovered while in the process of coding on EidoGo that it doesn't like
being anywhere except in Apache's root directory.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copy eidogo/ to an Apache directory other than the root. For instance,
on OS X 10.5, the root is ~/Sites. So, put eidogo/ in ~/Sites/eidogo/
2. Open http://localhost/yourname/eidogo/#blank
3. Click on "Games", for instance, to navigate away from the index.phtml page.
4. Once there, click on, say, "Blank Board".

You would expect to get taken back to http://localhost/user/eidogo/#blank.
But instead it tries to go to http://localhost/#blank, which of course is
something else entirely. Thus we get a 404.

I'm not sure if this is an intentional thing, but I hope not because that
makes developing on OS X a bit of a pain since the root Apache directory
requires the sudo password on every write. :(

I'm having the same experience with XAMPP on XP, and apache/php/et al on ubuntu 
Ibex,
so it's unlikely that it's platform-specific... unless there's a problem with 
apache
:)  Of course, I can't get it to work properly even when it *is* the root 
directory,
so maybe it's just me...
