Probably a very minimal installation.

We need to be careful to make sure the end-result of the sample
implementation does not provide more functionality than the LSB
specification itself -- it could be the cause of some confusion.

Maybe two parts: the real sample implementation, and some added stuff
needed to provide a working system.

It should be possible for the main sample implementation to be used on,
say, a SCO UNIX system running lxrun.
