At this time, we've not wired up resource limits via the libvirt sandbox
package. Currently the focus has been on securing the containers to prevent
them doing bad things to the host. Resource constraints as a todo item.

LXC execute is a standalone tool from the LXC sf.net project which
has nothing todo with libvirt. libvirt-sandbox is a sandbox technology
built ontop of libvirt, which is able to create sandboxes across various
virtualization technologies, currently LXC, KVM and QEMU.
