Relocating admin section?

Not sure if this should go here or in Dev Discussion, but anyway...my hosting provider provides me with a shared SSL certificate that I can use to secure a portion of my site. However, the URL for the https stuff is different than the http stuff. Is it possible to split the /admin content out of the main install directory and put it in this SSL directory so that I can have secured administrator logins?

To illustrate, I'm setting up a website for my church at http://www.stpaulstroy.org. CMS will go in the root web directory for this site. I'd like to put the admin stuff in my secured directory, which will be accessible from https://stpau002.secure.omnis.com. Given the fact that the admin login uses redirects, I'm thinking that you've planned for this type of functionality. I'm just not sure if it's complete or how I would go about using it. I don't see any reference to this sort of thing on the wiki. Any hints or help would be appreciated!

There is really no reason why this shouldn't work except for that fact that some URLs in the admin are assumed from what is in config.php. I'm sure that we can work out some way to do this, but it wouldn't be in 0.7.3, since it's due out tonight. :) I'll make a bug.
