Contains low-level utilities which use the linux-vserver kernel API
directly. Most of them do not know util-vserver's idea of "vservers"
(cfg-directory + chroot) at all.
This package is very lightweighted and has nearly no dependencies so
that it can be used in guest-systems also.

This is used to operate existing vservers (starting/stopping). It uses
my idea about "vservers" and has moderate dependencies.
> util-vserver-lib-0.30.196
Shared libraries; should be self-explaining
> util-vserver-devel-0.30.196
devel-files; adds a dependency on pkgconfig
> util-vserver-sysv-0.30.196
SysV initscripts; because:
* I do not like SysV init
* they introduce additional, ugly dependencies (the 'initscripts'
package on Fedora)
they are packaged separately.
> util-vserver-build-0.30.196
This contains tools about the creation of vservers. It has complicated
dependencies (rpm, apt-get) which might be unwanted.
> util-vserver-legacy-0.30.196
The legacy-tools...
