mkdir base/host1/etc
mkdir base/host2/etc
mkdir base/host3/etc
...
ln base/host1/etc/* base/host2/etc/
ln base/host1/etc/* base/host3/etc/

...and manually edit the files that are different per host.  Doesn't
eat up all space on the server, and still allows for flexibility in
the per-host configuration.
