Merge pull request #1332 from astraw/alternate-url-prefix

notebook - allow prefixes in URL path.

This closes  #1329. The basic idea is to allow prefixes in the path served. (E.g. serve on http://localhost:8888/ipython/ instead of http://localhost:8888/ )

This is useful for running the ipython notebook behind a proxy serving other content at other URLs. In that case, one would also need to proxy the websockets.

Also, clean up some static paths in our html/css files by using template function calls instead of hardcoded paths.

 You can then start the notebook and access it later by pointing your browser to
-``https://your.host.com:9999``.
+``https://your.host.com:9999`` with ``ipython notebook --profile=nbserver``.

+Running with a different URL prefix
+===================================
+
+The notebook dashboard (i.e. the default landing page with an overview
+of all your notebooks) typically lives at a URL path of
+"http://localhost:8888/". If you want to have it, and the rest of the
+notebook, live under a sub-directory,
+e.g. "http://localhost:8888/ipython/", you can do so with command-line
+options like these:
+
+  $ ipython notebook --NotebookApp.webapp_settings="\

+          'base_kernel_url':'/ipython/', \
