 * thank you for this plug-in. I would like to be able to change the location of
   cache directories and reduce the number of folder names.
 * as an example
 * right now everything is written to domainname/wp-content/cache/supercache/domainname/
   slugname/
 * I would prefer to have the files written to
    domainname/slugname/
 * can this be done?
 * thanks again

 * On a case by case basis it can using the “Direct Cached Files” functionality.
   Allowing a script to create directories and files in the root directory of your
   blog is fairly dangerous though and not supported except in this controlled fashion.

 * This is somewhat of a hack:
 * I am using your plug-in in an attmept to create a static web site using WordPress
   pages. With your plug-in I can create physical folders and .html pages so I would
   prefer to do that off of the root directory
 * This allows me to:
    1. use wordpress as a CMS to generate static html files. 
   2. point subdomains or other domain names to physical folders within the root
   domain
 * example:
    I can create domainname/folder1/index.html and domainname/folder2/index.
   html. Once these folders and files exist then I simply point 2 new domain names
   at folder1 and folder2 as those index pages become the home pages for those additional
   domains.
 * 3. I can then manage multiple web sites with only 1 install of wordpress.
 * This solution addresses of the BIGGEST issues with WordPress – no static files
   and the need to create so many installations of wordpress to manage multiple 
   domain names that use the same themes etc.
 * Also I assume you would like to have the option to choose to create static .php
   pages so you could still execute php server code/plugins.
 * Perhaps a static page builder plugin exists and I am missing it?
    or Is a well
   known hack to force WP to “write” folders/pages to the server?
 * If so please let me know. The lack of static pages from WP is the only keeping
   MT in the game IMO.
 * This is probably not a solution for wordpress.com hosted sites but it seems that
   this ability IS BADLY NEEDED and should be available for those that are hosting
   WP on their own servers.
