The function should also use ftruncate64() rather than ftruncate() to prevent
files over 4GB (not uncommon for a root filesystem) being zeroed.

Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest
memory, so compile lguest statically by default.
[ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
physical memory. Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is
for 2.6.24. ]
-static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so

The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO.
Noone ever read it.
So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

S.Caglar Onur points out that many distributions don't ship a static
zlib. Unfortunately the launcher currently maps virtual device memory
where shared libraries want to go.
The solution is to pre-scan the args to figure out how much memory we
have, then allocate devices above that, rather than down from the top
possible address. This also turns out to be simpler.

A brief document describing how to use lguest. Because lguest doesn't have an
ABI we also include an example launcher in the Documentation directory.
