It's true that roxen's design prevents chrooting ftp if you are running
a non chrooted web server on the same system.
However, it's silly to be running a non-chrooted web server if you want
a chrooted ftp server. And, with a little work, roxen could support
running chrooted. [And it would be reasonable to lose the ability to
reconfigure it at run time from the administrative web interface --
that's probably good from a security standpoint. The other option,
putting the config file in the chrooted area, is also viable but would
be less secure.]
