  Description     : A helper utility to run programs in a sandboxed environment

 Sandbox is a library (and helper utility) to run programs in a "sandboxed"
 environment.  This is used as a QA measure to try and prevent applications from
 modifying files they should not.
 .
 For example, in the Gentoo world it is used for building applications as root
 and being sure that the build system does not do crazy things outside of its
 build directory.  Such as install files to the live root file system or modify
 config files on the fly.
 .
 For people who are familiar with the Debian "fakeroot" project or the RPM based
 "InstallWatch", sandbox is in the same vein of projects.
