Is there any reason we couldn't update metabase.xml explicitly and add the
virtual dir manually? I realize this probably isn't a recommended way but in
our case the addition of this virtual root will happen once and never be
changed, and it happens during configuration of our web server. We could
create the root with IIS of course but we want to automate the process.
