img folder out of webroot ?

Hey guys.

Where I work, we have some CakePHP Apps running on the same server. Sometimes I need to update an entire app, and I'm always having to put the update in a new folder, copy all webroot content (Images or any other files from my users) to the app new folder, and finally, remove the old one and rename the new folder..

Due to this, I would like to know if there is any possibility to mantain the img folder out of the webroot folder, in another folder even out of the application, so I'll be able to update the app without fear.

I was thinking in a structure like this:

Normal Cake App
/root
+ app
++ webroot
+++ img
+++ uploads


What I want to do
/root
+ app
++ webroot
+ app_content
++ img
++ uploads

I know that this approach could be strange, but it could help in my context.

ahh. last question: If this is possible, how to handle the $html->image helper ?! (I know that it goes directly into the /webroot/img folder, so, it will be interesting to change).

Thanks for the help.
