[DAS] [Root-l] Had to disable Cite PHP extension on the biodas wiki

[Mauricio Herrera Cuadra]

I just did a SVN update of cross-site-stuff/extensions/ directory and 
restored Cite symlinks from BioDAS and BioJava extensions/ webroots, 
also uncommented the Cite and SpecialCite requires in LocalSettings.php 
for both sites. Restarted Apache and sites seem to work fine (no errors 
in Apache logs). However, I'll need you guys to double check since you 
know your wikis best than I do.

Thanks,
Mauricio.
