* Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is
executed in a chroot that contains just the Nix store, the temporary build directory, and a configurable set of additional directories (/dev and /proc by default). This allows a bit more purity enforcement: hidden build-time dependencies on directories such as /usr or /nix/var/nix/profiles are no longer possible. As an added benefit, accidental network downloads (cf. NIXPKGS-52) are prevented as well (because files such as /etc/resolv.conf are not available in the chroot). However the usefulness of chroots is diminished by the fact that many builders depend on /bin/sh, so you need /bin in the list of additional directories. (And then on non-NixOS you need /lib as well...)
