There's a Linux Jail like thing called vserver, it has a feature where
you hardlink a whole bunch of stuff for different jails (it has tools
for building a set of jails from a given tree). It does a copy on write
for any of these hardlinked files so you don't get the security issue.

No idea if it's possible to implement something like that for a jail :)
