Well, if you are doing for apache, then what about using the apache 
directive for user dirs ie: www.mysite.com/~user/, apache checks in 
user home folder for a dir called www.

To get around some issues, have apache say run as a group www, and give 
that group read/execute permissions to the home folders..
