+Can underlay plugin handle the case that source and destination directories
+are the same? I'd rather have just one copy of these underlay files on the server.
+And did I goof in the setup file since I got this:
+
+    $ ikiwiki -setup blog.setup -rebuild --verbose
+    Can't use string ("/home/users/mcfrisk/www/blog/med") as an ARRAY ref while
+    "strict refs" in use at 
+    /home/users/mcfrisk/bin/share/perl/5.10.0/IkiWiki/Plugin/underlay.pm line 41.
+    $ grep underlay blog.setup 
+        add_plugins => [qw{goodstuff websetup comments blogspam html sidebar underlay}],
+        underlaydir => '/home/users/mcfrisk/bin/share/ikiwiki/basewiki',
+        # underlay plugin
+        # extra underlay directories to add
+        add_underlays => '/home/users/mcfrisk/www/blog/media',
+    $ egrep "(srcdir|destdir)" blog.setup 
+        srcdir => '/home/users/mcfrisk/blog',
+        destdir => '/home/users/mcfrisk/www/blog',
+        # allow symlinks in the path leading to the srcdir (potentially insecure)
+        allow_symlinks_before_srcdir => 1,
+        # directory in srcdir that contains directive descriptions
+
