The problem is that the pastebin expects to be the root resource. It
loads the CSS and images (if there are any, I can't remember now) from /
and not /paste. To mount the pastebin at /paste you will need to update
it so that it knows that's where it's mounted.

It's not just the pastebin that has this problem. If any app is to be
mounted at /foo then it needs to be written to know that from the start.

However ... a long time ago now, I wrote a simple reroot renderer that
may help with this sort of problem. It's in sandbox/mg/reroot.py. A
macro would be better for this though (see dp's latest macro branch)
because then the reroot would only happen once and not every request.

Cheers, Matt
