 expected places if desired.

 Hard links will work in a chroot. Symlinks won't work, because symlinks
 only contain the path to the file outside the chroot.

 code yet? I could easily write a patch.

 I don't think this change needs a proposal.

 How about you write the code for a new Chroot option, and then we'll
 review it?

 If you can write unit tests, or integration tests, that will help us make
 sure it works on different platforms.
