Hi Ben,

I really like the idea of it, but 0install needs a more general
interface that supports a wide variety of implementations, not just
Capsicum-modified FreeBSD kernels. e.g. I guess Plash could use
Capsicum if available, for example?

My plan is to use E as a demonstration of the kind of sandboxing
0install allows, since anyone can run an E application, and then find
some more general system for sandboxing mainstream applications.
