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.
