+99% of the way there, but:
+
+* CGI pages, with the exception of edit pages, set `<base>` to
+  `$config{url}`
+* When doing a Logout or Cancel, or when saving an edited page,
+  the user is returned to something derived from `$config{url}`.
+* RecentChanges page may link to things derived from `$config{url}`.
+
+All of the above are because I had to revert `baseurl(undef)` to always
+returning an absolute url, since relative urls caused breakage as seen in
+[[preview_base_url_should_be_absolute]]. --[[Joey]] 
+
+Ideally, baseurl would return an absolute url derived from the url
+being used to access the cgi, but that needs access to the CGI object,
+which it does not have. --[[Joey]]
