I wrote some scripts for very similar process (however, I used one mount to 
null mount jail's /usr, and move/symlinked /bin and /sbin to /usr/Rbin and 
/usr/Rsbin, with /usr/local, /usr/home and /usrX11R6 linked out to jail root)

I'm very interested in your patchset, at least for comparing with our (and for 
learning, or course! ;-)

Thanks!

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                     [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
