We can't do (3).  That will break local installations of the
documentation that have been installed in a 'non-standard' place.

I don't really like (1).

I wonder whether, instead of symlinking FAQ/ and handbook/, we could
just install index.html files that have the necessary META headers to
redirect the user to ../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/... as necessary?

That should do the right thing, and it should work irrespective of the
web server configuration.
