This is the best long term strategy with a Plone site.

Rewrite with Aapache.  I believe Plone 2.5 has mechanisms so you can
assert SiteRoot's and make your 'home' folder the "IPloneRoot" - or
something.  Ask on plone-users mailing list.  But then everything will
be computed from /plone/home instead of /plone
