Description

Related to #28.

When you separate your WordPress install and the wp-content directory via WP_CONTENT_DIR realpath fails and will never concatenate your theme and plugin scripts. I started working on a patch but found that even when I got realpath to account for this set-up line 103 in jsconcat.php has conditionals that continue to break in this kind of set-up.

I discovered this in a multisite sub-domain install configuration, haven't tested on the default set-up.

Research direction

Inspect WPCOM_Concat_Utils::realpath and the conditionals around line 103 in jsconcat.php, then reproduce the failure with a separate WP_CONTENT_DIR in a multisite sub-domain installation. Done means theme and plugin scripts concatenate correctly in that setup without breaking the default configuration.
