Rails - Jul 2008 - Different path to public document root in Development mode

I know how to do this for actual deployment, but is there a way to
change the Rails "document root" used from its default of RAILS_ROOT/
public *in development mode*?

I want to do something like this:

  config.document_root = "/shared/global/images"

Since I have several different applications using the same image sets.

We can''t use svn:externals or other tricks due to some complexities
I''ve omitted, so I''m hoping there''s a way to
configure this in
environment.rb

Thanks,
Nate

Is it enough to change the asset host (for serving stylesheets, javascripts
etc)?

Copy the line:
config.action_controller.asset_host = ''http://whatever/''
from production.rb to development.rb

Hope this helps.
