Comment (by nacin):

 If you install WP in a subdirectory, as in /foo/, then RewriteBase will be
 /foo/, .htaccess will be inside /foo/, $current_site->path will be /foo/.

 These changes are only really for a multi-network situation. Which makes
 it tricky, the existing rewrite rules work just fine for the first
 network. Setting up a second network requires direct API calls and in some
 cases, yes, some .htaccess modifications. So I'm not too concerned about
 not yet supporting this in core.

 Removing $base in favor of $current_site->path all together (proposed for
 3.5 elsewhere) and removing ms-files.php all together (ditto) should make
 this a bit easier in general. Then it's just a few rewrite rules.
