Possibility of multiple sites sharing the same CiviCRM database

Our Association has several sites that we would like to have members sign into using the same CiviCRM database. Is this possible? Or, if not, is there a reasonable workaround? We are using
Wordpress 3.2 and CiviCRM 4.1.2

For Drupal and Joomla, CiviCRM links the contacts who login to their user records. I presume it's the same for WordPress, which means no, you can't share a DB because my contact in CiviCRM, for example, should link to user #7 in site A but user #10 in site B.

But a multiorg multisite setup might work. I don't think anyone has tried this in WordPress. There are a few wiki pages how to do it in Drupal.
